Toy wise, that would seem like a problem except it really isn't. A majority of childrens television involves toy gimmicks. Similar to how actual T.V shows are made to promote commercials (like the infamous Slap Chop and Oxiclean), children's T.V is made to promote toy sales. Shows like Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Beyblade, etc. all revolve around watching the show and through sub consience thought buying the toys (even the Rubix Cube had its own show back in the 80's, just let that sink in for a second). Also without toy gimmicks, most shows like wouldn't have been able to survive without them (Without Ultraman Zero movies or the two Ultraman Ginga series, Ultraman could have literally died out due to budget, or future series would have been really boring and bland, pick your poison). Though, at the end of the day, we all end up losing because we spend a ton of time and money buying things like Yokai Medals and Eyecons and then at the age of 40 say "Man, i really did that asa kid".

Show wise, short seasons are a problem with shows like the first half of Sailor Moon Crystal, Power Rangers Megaforce and Super Megaforce and Ultraman Ginga becuase of how rushed they are when filling certain time slots and budgets (and plots). However, exceptions to the rules like Power Rangers Dino Charge and Super Dino Charge, and Star Trek the original series due very well despite these issues. (whenever the amount of episodes and budget decrease or increase depending on its precessor or processor). In general a good staff and heart (and money) can make a small season a great season.

Anyway, these are my thoughts on the matter described.
