Get a clue!
The networks just don't get it. NO ONE CARES ANYMORE about TV shows with miles and miles of commercials, bad concept, etc. Hello. Time to shake it up.
The financial markets talk about how GM has "gone to seed". Could we please add ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX?
A Low-Water Mark for Broadcast TV Viewing
TV viewers must have taken to the beach: It was the least-watched week in recorded history for the four biggest broadcast networks.
CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox averaged 20.8 million viewers during the average prime-time minute last week, according to Nielsen Media Research. That sunk below the previous record, set during the last week of July in 2005.

It wasn't entirely unexpected. By tradition, the week that includes Independence Day has the fewest viewers of the year, or close to it, because rerun season is in full swing and the public is consumed with outdoor activities.
There also aren't any new summer hits to entice people. Only one program, NBC's "America's Got Talent," recorded more than 10 million viewers, Nielsen said.
It was a lousy week for Brian Williams and the "NBC Nightly News," too.
Williams' newscast finished out of first place among viewers for the first time since last August, beaten by ABC's "World News Tonight," where Diane Sawyer subbed for Charles Gibson, according to Nielsen Media Research." here
