i wonder how TV networks decide what to renew and not nowadays, i can't believe a single show makes money from just ads anymore so its gotta be some package deal of how much it can sell for on streaming/syndication and ??? no clue what else
used to be shows would putter along to 100 episodes because then it was easy to sell on syndication and international but i doubt that is a factor at all anymore, since syndication is swamped with options and there are only so many hours to fill - mostly with seinfeld/friends/big bang theory/modern family now. every time i'm at the gym all 4 of those shows are airing on the big screens on different cable networks.
