sure most of them ended years ago but I don't the entertainment of TV will ever die. All you need is an original idea and sell it to the network and the buy it, but most of the time the network does'nt know what they are doing. TV shows have to appeal to the audiance because its them you really have to worry about. you need to sell your show to them and not the network because like I said the network will pick up anything.

Sure there are a lot of show that don't personally appeal to me and millions love that show (American Idol, The O.C., Lifetime Net.)

Think about it this way, for every show you hate there is at least a million people who love that exact show. So what I'm getting at is that there is no "BAD" TV show, they just dont appeal to you.
