I would add that I think ABC's huge 2004 drama class, plus the CSI trio peaking around that same time, led the networks to stock up on imitation dramas over the next few years. Combine that with comedy tentpoles like Friends and Raymond retiring, and the drama game looked more appealing.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-35386231839704606632013-06-03T20:40:34.071-04:002013-06-03T20:40:34.071-04:00I've been thinking about that, and the only re...I've been thinking about that, and the only reason I can think of is the advance of reality programming. Think about it–Idol & DWTS at their peaks, Survivor post-peak, and The Bachelor, The Biggest Loser, The Amazing Race, etc. still threats to contend with. That was A) taking up real estate and B) being huge competition. The realities are also in 8-10 pm, prime comedy time. They couldn't escape to 10 pm like dramas could! I also think poor foundations on the part of ABC, Fox, and NBC didn't help. (Fox & NBC STILL have poor foundations for nurturing new comedy hits)Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-77942395652017585302013-06-03T10:05:37.568-04:002013-06-03T10:05:37.568-04:00I don't follow ratings for long enough to be a...I don't follow ratings for long enough to be able to guess but that sounds like a good one to me for what is worth!Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-20485124483085961962013-06-02T15:59:34.373-04:002013-06-02T15:59:34.373-04:00I'm guessing this will be the top five:

And minus Modern Family the Eye is still doing the job today and probably in the future as they finally pulled the trigger on another 4-sitcom block. I'm hoping <i>Mork & Buffy</i> (more conventionally called The Crazy Ones) joins this list in the future.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-44530738587244599852013-05-31T15:54:59.478-04:002013-05-31T15:54:59.478-04:00Ooh, this is fascinating.

And it's amazing how big this season's BBT is even in raw 18-49 numbers compared to all the other post-Friends shows. I forgot that in its timeslot after 2.5 Men it actually beat 2.5 Men.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.com
