I wouldn't mind getting them in 2 parts, if only they would offer a full version after you buy both parts.

Agreed. Charge more and leave them intact. This is getting ridiculous. I don't mind paying the ~dime a minute charge for them, but waiting weeks to finish what is essential a commercial or PSA seems silly and detracts from the experience. The last time something like this was tried was the ill fated MST3K lunch hour, and other than the cute bumper material, that format was annoying too.

Get the message, Rifftrax? I'd rather not have to vote with my wallet.

I already am voting with my wallet and I hope more people do because that is the way you change stuff like this.  The internet can be ignored but not sales.

I'm usually in the, "Aww lighten up!" camp on this type of issue, but I have to admit I feel a little ripped off by the split-up shorts. A regular short is a bit pricey at $1 for 10-12 minutes (Worth it for the laughs, though), but $2 for 23 minutes feels even steeper somehow.I know it's proportionally the same, but a 22 minute short feels like it should cost maybe $1.50. I suppose I've reached a point where I'm bickering over 50 cents, then, but the fact remains that I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth when it's split. Maybe I wouldn't have bat an eye if it had been priced at $2 up front for the whole thing, but there's some diminishing return there. Paying $1 for the REST of Tommy Tucker doesn't feel the same as just paying for Tommy Tucker.

Don't credit cards charge per transaction? Wouldn't it make more sense to have it one transaction anyways?

Okay I'll say it - lighten up people!

Sure it would be nice if the longer shorts came in 1 part for $1.98 but its hardly that big of a deal. 

*Cliche time* If you don't like it then don't buy it.

That is what I am doing.  I am not buying any shorts until things change.

Yeah, that's about where I stand. Not a big enough issue for me to actually miss a riffing of a short, but not something I generally like or endorse.

I also don't like it. I wonder if they'll be released joined together on the DVDs?
