In film days the belief was that slower shutter speeds gave the film MORE time to become saturated. does a sensor have a Goldilocks exposure time? Not too little, not too much?

I believe that since the was speaking of "low light conditions and shutter speed", that he meant that it's better to shoot on a tripod, with a slower shutter speed and as low an ISO as possible than to shoot with a higher shutter speed and high ISO for better color saturation. Since this is a very basic tutorial, he didn't get into a lot of detail. You can't blame him since a beginner is likely to be confused if too much detail is taught. This is the basics :)

In a youtube eos tutorial that was recomended here the tutor states that slower shutter speeds produce richer colors and more detail. With out regard to depth of field and freezing the action does this benifit come from a slower shutter and why?
I think this will explain more than you wanted to know about depth of field. I have always heard that if you photograph a subject that has a depth function to it and you want to get the focus approximately the same from front to back you use a small aperture. The link below will answer the question and give you an example. I think the reason the M&M picture made no difference is that there is no depth in the original!

Quite right, as I read it. The M&Ms test really addressed something else. While it was well done, it compensated exposure. The video explanation, your explanation, and my previous all addressed changing shutter speed without compensating.
It was basic, so much so that most of these accomplished photogs overlooked it, like not seeing the forest for the trees. No criticism intended. I saw it because I'm not so accomplished.

I have to admit too slow of a shutter speed has been my downfall for too many shots. I think I will rely on RAW files and post processing for colors. Too risky unless you are experimenting on a tripod.

snobear, the .3 second one seems to be slightly darker color for the candies & the "M"'s seem to be more defined.

You noticed. That makes it your job to alphabetize the M&Ms...

Nope
Just took a digital course with an instructor who worked as a professional and got into the digital end from the start. He also co-designed the digital courses and is a wealth of knowledge in photography in general. From what he has explained is there is reciprocity, but it gives off a yellowish, reddish, orangey color, compared to film which gives off blueish, greenish, purpley color. Not as nice as film, and the shutter can't be left open as long as some film cameras allow. I've seen images where the shutter was left open for hours and the images were dreamy, sharp, and spectacular.

I have positioned the 2 images so that I can see identical areas of both shots and unless my eyes are deceiving me I think the 10 sec shot is very slightly darker or more color saturated especially in the blue m&ms and a little in the orange ones.
Even the plate seems a little darker.
