Does anyone else get how stupid the television networks are?
Every 13 weeks or so they come out with a new spate of shows and invariably cancel any that I liked .
They say it’s because not enough people watch (in their limited focus groups or Neilsen polls ) for them to sell ads profitably.
Hello !! Knock, Knock, is anybody home at the networks?
My family (and everyone I know) has from 2 to 4 VCRs (or digital recorders) and the shows they really want to watch get recorded. I know this doesn’t rate with the PTB (powers that be) but it means that they regularly cancel shows that actually have a better chance at selling me something than some crappy cheap reality show or totally ridiculous biased "in depth" pseudo-news show.
I like News! Real News. I like to make up my own mind. And I like to be entertained.
After work I have a million (well a lot anyway) of things to do before I can call it a day. To this end, I record the shows I like and only watch those I am not particularly concerned with at broadcast time. It doesn’t matter if I have to pick up a Pizza then because if I miss it, it’s not important.
I don’t know what the answer is, perhaps a comparitive survey of popularity as opposed to just what is watched a what time, however, if the networks will pay me what they pay the Idiots they currently have in charge, I will be glad to try to figure it out for them.
I bet a lot of us have more on the ball and more common sense than they appear to…
