TV shows with only 1 season should display episodes in vertical format

[RLanger7228 73]

TV shows seem to have a standard display: the first page after selecting the show displays the seasons (or episodes) in a horizontal format [ScreenShot(SS) 1]. When selecting a season, this works well.  Once you select a season, the actual episodes are displayed on a different screen in a vertical format (SS 2), which I prefer, because there is more room on the screen for the episode descriptions to be displayed. 

However, when a show has only one season, all the episodes are displayed in the same horizontal format as the first, season selection screen (SS 3).  I suggest that you add an IF--THEN that looks for the number of seasons after selecting the main show title.  If there is only one season, the display would jump to the vertical episode display, instead of displaying the episodes in the horizontal season selection mode (or at least offer an option, if some users prefer the horizontal display).

Thank you. Sorry for the delayed response - I have been very busy at work this week.

Using the "Always Show Season Folders" eventually gets me to the display screen I prefer, and would still be intuitive for my new users.  It is an adequate resolution for now, but a bit less than ideal, from my perspective.

I personally do not care for the horizontal display in either of the "Show all episodes options...".  When browsing episodes, the vertical format (past the seasons screen) is both easier to scroll through & displays more of the descriptions at a single glance.  Additionally, my suggestion below would skip the extra click to get to the better episode display format.

Since this IS the Feature Request forum, I would like to request that you offer an additional option in the "Preferred TV show display":  "Show all episodes of single season shows in Vertical format" (or equivalent verbiage).  You could even break the "Preferred TV show display" into 2 sections:  1 section could be the same as you have it, with an additional section having a choice between vertical & horizontal formatting of episodes, for those who want all seasons together, but still want the vertical format for episode display.
