ABC To Re-Tool Scrubs: Why TV Viewers Are So Overwhelmed These Days - Page 4

However, for a network like CBS that’s strong on procedurals, the entire CSI franchise couldn’t fail. All three shows cater to their core demographic and follow the same formula. CBS is very lucky to be able to ride that wave that long, but considering their viewers skew older, it makes sense. The older we get, the stricter viewing habits become. My parents complain there’s crap on TV, but always watch CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, or Without A Trace after their regular shows because "it’s what comes on next." That’s a problem The CW is begging to have.

Anyway, so what does this mumbo jumbo have to do with Scrubs? I’m not sure anymore. Ultimately, the show is still on my TiVo season pass, so it’ll stay there. That’s enough to keep me watching. Same for Smallville. In the meantime, me and my overwhelmed brain are vowing to give The Vampire Diaries a try this fall, even though I don’t need another show. It’s time to break my viewing rut. Plus, Supernatural is what comes on next.

    Actually El Bicho, I was going to say the same of "Mork and Mindy." Everyone has a different definition of "classic." I just listed it because I was having trouble coming up with recent spinoffs off the top of my head. :)
