I *do* think that broadcast TV's overall audience share will continue its long term decline.

However, NBC has in the recent past declined much more rapidly than ABC, FOX and CBS. Their relatively bad performance isn't inevitable. They could certainly aspire to be at the top of the broadcast pile instead of simply just beating the CW.

I think it is high time that the network executives stop treating the preferences of the public with contempt and start making programing that they know people will like.

I remember watching some of the “making of” featurettes of some of my favorite films, and one of the common denominators is that the creative people will ask themselves and each other what the audience wants to see.

I believe that the producers know what the audiences want to see, but don't want to give it to them. They would rather put in a load of un appealing political correctness, like they are nannies pouring cod liver oil down our throats.
