That’s the thing the ABC lineup is in bad shape it’s not like the show is putting out a bad product all things considered Once is still the best thing ABC has going for them
This is true, but ABC competes with other networks, and isn’t going to want to be 3rd out of 4 in ratings. They have sponsors, and stock holders who they will want to assure that investing in ABC’s stock and projects are profitable, and are a good investment. Their sponsors will track how many people will be expected to see their advertisements, and they will track where the best places are to buy those slots. Their stock holders will be interested in how ABC invests it’s resources, and how those investments are returned. ABC is by no means in trouble, but their exectives are smart people and they aren’t going to want to make any decisions that could get them there. If Once is the best thing ABC has going for them, then that is why I fear for Once Upon A Time after next season if the ratings don’t get any better. I believe with 100% of my confidence though, that those ratings can get better, and that Once Upon A Time can be the main topic of conversation at every watercooler in America every Monday morning.
That”a why I mean, Once is a good product for ABC the need to fix the way it’s scheduled and how it’s marketed to the casual audience. With Once you have to tune in every week or you lose it, then most people just wait till the end of the season to see every episode in succession, or the start watching it more online or on the DVR. With Once they’d be better off having one long hiatus at winter break and not all these mini hiatuses we have been seeing.
