If every network aims for the exact same demographic, with the same tastes and wants, that is good for diversity of programming choices how exactly? Aren’t they all fighting for the exact same slice of pie?
You want a world with ten or more shows that are clones of “According to Jim” and “2 and a half men?” How many house-flipping and cake-making and spot-welding fake-fighting drama queen shows do we really need? How many ghost hunting and true crime re-enactments? I would agree it is a banner epoch for high-end pay cable like HBO and Showtime. But from my couch, the lower tier is all sinking into one gray goo of reality programming and re-tread clip compilation shows.
Just for the sake of argument.

Most People will watch TV whether there is good programming or bad programming. Most People don’t watch TV because it’s good,Most People watch TV to escape their mundane workaday pitiful excuse for a life. I have a buddy of mine, my best friend mind you. He’s filing for chapter 13, single dad, he’s on food stamps and every kind of government assistance he can get his hands on. But hell and begone, DON’T TURN OFF MY CABLE!!!
I’m not judging mind you, he’s been through an extremely rough patch and is still standing. Most men would be blithering idiots with what he’s been through, but the point still stands. He escapes into that box and it really doesn’t matter what’s on. I have another friend of mine, successful banker, two great kids, kickin’ wife, the whole enchilada. His TV never gets turned off…NEVER!!! I have been coming home from a gig at 4 AM and look across the street and the only light I see is that familiar blue glow and a silhouette of his head in the window.
There are those that do things, there are those that make TV shows about people who do things(which is actually doing things), and then there are those that watch the TV shows about other people do things. We have become a nation of freakin voyeurs. Excuse me, I gotta go do sumpin, Anybody wanna watch??
…..that didn’t come out right…..
Oh and one more I forgot. There are those that do things and then make a TV show about it. Sorry

The Management at SyFy killed Farscape like 7 years ago.
And I think I’m still bitter about that.
