Harry Potter: The Deathly Hallows films. That started the "splicing up a work into several parts for $$$" thing.

Harry Potter in general. Every goddamn five-volume young adult series to come after it and get adapted into a movie series.

And then AMC started doing it TV shows too. They already have it easy with a 14 episode season, but now they're splitting up the last season into 7 episode seasons over 2 years.

Really pissed me off when I got to season 7 of Mad Men on Netflix only to realize that they only had the "first half" of season 7.

The first I saw of that was Battlestar Galactica. They started that nonsense with Season 2, releasing it in two parts, both at full price.
