Bring back the director from the first four episodes, and hopefully something in the end can be salvaged so this won't be so forgettable.

Are you sure you are watching the same show as everyone else? There were only five or six self references in the actual show itself. There were even fewer shopping and merchandise plugs.

Spoiler for Self-references:

1. Potato stuffed item
2. Kore warou toko? (Kyon's line in Haruhi ep 1)
3. Koizumi's CD
4. Konata at the shrine. (This is a 4th wall reference.)
5. Konata referencing the ep 17 ending
6. Kyoani themselves.

Spoiler for Shopping:

1. Above
2. Above
3. The stuffed animal at the shopping mart
4. The item across that Konata recommended
