== [[Anime]] & [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Bleach]]'' is a textbook case of the results of suddenly introducing [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] since the start of the Soul Society arc: the plot slowed down as tons of secondary characters were briefly introduced, and in the Fake Karakura Town arc the plots slows down ''even more'' as many of these characters are given multi-chapter fights.

* In ''[[Serenity]]'', things pick up speed after
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': Dawn is introduced, an episode or two are spent explaining her relationship with the rest of the group. Also when [[Rich Bitch|Cordelia]] left the show, Anya was brought back to fill the "Xander's [[Love Interest]]
* Original ''[[Doctor Who]]'', which had 2-3 companions at any given time, moved languorously, frequently taking several episodes to resolve any given storyline; New ''Doctor Who'' usually only has the Doctor and 1 companion (2 in series 6), not including brief guests, as most plots are finished in a single episode.
* New Laverne's appearance in ''[[Scrubs]]''.
