How many have stopped watching scripted drama series because of the constant cancellations?

Question

I am a huge Jericho fan, it was one of the best shows on television and was canceled because of the faulty Neilson system which said it didn't have enough viewers. Collectively as fans we managed to bring it back again for a second season but then it got cancelled a second time. I also got into Journeyman, and the same happened. At this point I don't even try to watch new scripted dramas because of this fact. Everything is being replaced with reality television which I personally can't stand. Who else feels this way?

Answer 1

One constant for TV since the 1950s is that TV is all about advertising.  The shows just get in the way, so if a show doesn't immediately catch on to it's target audience, the network throws it away for something else that will generate more money.  That's really what TV is after: the money.
