According to a report from AdAge, every single network drama that aired on Tuesday night experienced a double-digit decline in ratings. And aside from a decent showing from The Muppets, the report relays that there have been few bright spots to the start of this year's fall TV lineup.
[...] All told, cumulative viewership during "Premiere Week", as it's called, is down 8% compared to the same period a year-ago. More worrisome for TV networks is that viewership from the highly sought-after 18-24 demographic is down 20% year over year, with male viewership within that demographic falling by 24%.
Males in the 18-24 demographic are the most coveted in advertising because that's when studies show brand preferences are formed. 24% is a catastrophic decline for TV.

Wow, you are so amazingly disconnected from the real world that you can literally explain why All in the Family was brilliant social criticism using Archie Bunker as a foil but your take away from the very same words is that it was "just plain stupid." Holy crap! I never really believed that the "conservative mind" was different, but you are making a fantastic case for proving me wrong.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the "conservative mind" really is different than that of a liberal mind. You might read Vox Day's writing, beginning with 'SJW's always lie'. Sometimes, I'm surprised that the two can interbreed.

Anyone who thinks that a tv show which convinced millions of bigots to reconsider their bigotry was a bad thing is either insane or profoundly evil. There is no place in the world for someone like that.

I might suggest that you go back and actually READ MY POSTS. Nowhere did I use the words "bad thing". The worst thing I said about the show is, it was so much mindless drivel. Like all other sitcoms, it's aimed at the Lowest Common Denominator. People with the IQ of a turnip could watch it and be amused. Most people with IQ's at least as high as a household pet have to use mental tricks to get down on that level. Pretty much everything that comes out of Hollyweird is aimed at that Lowest Common Denominator.
