Be Regular.

Can you imagine these jokers running your local grocery store? Anytime they sold one or two less of product X, they’d rearrange the whole grocery store. Every week you would come in and everything would be rearranged. Produce and meat would switch places, they’d move the freezers to where light bulbs were last week and bread would be moved across the store each week in random patterns. Then they would seriously wonder why everyone is going two extra miles down the road to the new grocery store that costs more but also has higher quality.

Network executives are the sort of people that give ADHD a bad name.

I’m not saying ignore the ratings, but they need to appreciate intellectual capital as well. The AMC shows don’t get amazing ratings, but they get the attention and loyalty of a smart, savvy, loyal audience. That has to count for something somewhere.

I don’t understand how some shows continue to get airings and others don’t seem to make the cut. I admit, I didn’t watch the first few episodes of Cougar Town even though I really enjoy the work of @vdoozer. Exactly cause of the connotation listed above. But once I started watching I became a fan. And when I have seen Community, I have enjoyed it. Just that I am a lazy viewer that doesn’t have DVR, forgets about online viewing, and enjoy Big Bang during that time slot.

The TV business needs newer, smarter blood. Along with ‘smart’ shows similar to Sports Night and The West Wing.
