So... 100-400 episode seasons aired four times a week year round?

The only reason to believe it would be better with less people is delusional fantasy.

The problem isn't population, it's policy.

Because they're not communist. At best they're state capitalism, at worst they're dictatorships, which is just capitalism with less steps.

Cities aren't generally overcrowded because they have no other choice, they're overcrowded because cities typically offer the best opportunities. If the population were to drop three quarters overnight, people would flock to cities.

Land use is also about want, not need. We don't have to do it to sustain our population and its growth, it's just the cheapest (re: most profitable) option.

I remember a five month gap between 26 episode seasons. Usually a good time to catch reruns of the episodes you missed.

Unless you're talking about kids cartoons, in which you'd have 50-200 episode seasons that aired twice a week year round.

The odds are 1000:0 that they won't, and I still wouldn't take that bet.

Not nobody, just not the 85 million people who decided to fall asleep on election day.

I think the popular idea is that Mentos reacts with Diet Coke, not regular Coke, but apparently people mainly use diet because it doesn't leave as much of a sticky mess afterwards.

a lot of industries will no longer have the incentive to be innovative or creative as using other’s ideas is much cheaper

That's already what they do, it's just those people are on their payroll. Industries don't create, they absorb and proliferate.
