Aecioo 05/11/12 12:19:00 PM #2:	even though this is an MWC topic. I kind of agree with it. I love the shows, but... they're all slowly failing as shows. And viewership never goes up, it only goes down. They're already failing as a network and they needed to take a chance to get new viewers, but instead they're clinging to their tiny market in the hopes they can slowly introduce new shows while they lose tons of money. i dunno -- http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcb35gGx0t1qailr4o1_500.gif http://www.megavideo.com/?v=57N0YAEJ <cite>Aecioo posted [p:1134387] in NBC had 3 ...

yoshifan823 05/11/12 12:29:00 PM #14:	Well 30 Rock is ending, I'm convinced there's no way The Office goes past next year, and I honestly believe Parks has the potential to be even higher rated than The Office was, because it's way, way better than The Office ever was.

CycloRaptor 05/11/12 12:31:00 PM #15:	NBC also gets money for those shows from syndication and DVD sales while any new show they make gets terrible ratings.

I mean, that really wasn't long ago at all. Genuinely curious. I hear it said often. I think a big reason why The Office worked so well back then is because there wasn't anything else with that style. It was much easier to forgive its flaws because, hey, it didn't really have any competition. Now, though, there are tons of sitcoms that have taken that formula and made it much better - going from Parks & Rec and Modern Family to The Office is downright depressing. A lot of the humor seems bland and pedestrian nowadays. I definitely appreciate its historical significance, but when I'm looking for actual entertainment, I'll take just about any other single-camera sitcom over it. -- Hey, you ever coming back?
