Sitcomitis is the belief that everything can be wrapped up neatly in 30 minutes with no lose ends, just like in fictional situational comedy and other tv shows. It is the perfect affliction for today's ADHD world.
Unfortunately, in the real world, nothing wraps up neatly or completely. The long drawn out process we have is better than what you propose. It allows info on the candidate and how the candidate reacts to challenges to unfold slowly and to evolve.
A better system would be to follow Jefferson's proposal of a single 6 year term. That way the President wouldn't waste time on reelection.
