Then maybe in a couple of years with a new idea you make another great one season show and sell it as "from the creators of" and then keep killing it with one season runs. I think that's where TV should try to head. They won't because executives and writers alike need tent pole shows that are proven ratings generators to build new stuff around.
that's why the best tv often gets the lowest viewership numbers. most people like to watch mind numbing garbage. shows like the wire hang on by their fingernails on subscription based networks, and they lose money because very few people watch them.
