Don't worry, there'll be the same number of disks as before.
Either the resolution and thus filesize will be increased to fill a whole side with exactly the same as is on a disk now, or they'll just leave the half thing empty.
Who would want a whole TV series on one disk anyway - you'd have to watch the whole thing in one go, or remember exactly how far through you'd got last time.
Oh, and even if they did, it'd still cost more at Blockbuster than it did on DVD [insert random marketing reason here].
For movie soundtracks, multiple speaker systems make some sort of sense, but for music, particularly popular music, mono is usually a better solution. For your typical pop/rock band there isn't a stereo sound picture to reproduce, so why bother creating one?
Maybe we should have surround pictures next. You know, I think my peripheral vision is being sorely neglected.

Not at all. The former conveys a link, between the action and the dog's subsequent demeanour. The latter does not.
The English language allows for nuances of meaning to be expressed without changing the words used. Punctuation is the most useful way of doing this in written language.

That would be _kernel ABI_.
