This whole “cancel a show after 3 seasons” is not what users who grew up with 6,7...10 year runs of shows connect to.
They need some content with long legs to keep the sort used to Frasier like life spans.
That’s who was tuning in during their growth period, for those old shows they can’t hang onto now.
Frasier was from a different time, when there weren’t many choices, so committing to one show for 10 years made more sense. I think people lose attention easier now and there are so many other things to occupy your time in the entertainment space.
People that are center of the road politically, and very nostalgia/tradition driven. It seems reasonable to me that type of person makes up a pretty large portion of the population (I grew up in the Midwest and feel that basically describes the region pretty well, accepting it’s just my gut sense.)
Our brains like routine. That routine can be chasing novel experience or sitting still clinging to nostalgia. Seems pretty clear from the news the majority fall into the latter group.
The idea of preferring shows you have already seen is unthinkable to me.
