NBC figures out why we're not watching new shows

The networks don't have the luxury of making shows with "artistic vision", they have to deal with advertisers and FCC standards.  The shows that do end up getting hype, can never sustain itself past the first couple of seasons because the concept is limited or the show burns through so much plot it runs out of steam.

 

If Stranger Things was on NBC, the show would have to be watched on a weekly basis instead of binging, it would at minimum have a 13 episode season instead 8, and it would have commercials in it. 

 

The ridiculous scheduling is mainly to deal with sporting events and award shows that break up the rhythm of a season. 

 

I will say this, I don't think the networks should just rely on nielsen ratings.  They should use nielsen ratings, Live +3, and online viewers to determine the success of show, like Fox did with Scream Queens.
