I’d agree with you, except 30 Rock on NBC had NO VIEWERS of any consequence and they kept renewing it. It was like a jobs program for washed up liberal comics.
It paints Chicago in far too realistic a light.
Until this year it had more viewers than Mad Men.
30 Rock also grew its audience its second year.
30 Rock never did as well as the network hoped, but Boss has been an unmitigated disaster.
And expectations were very high for Boss - after all you had the star of Frasier, a show that put up champion numbers for years.
For most of its run 30 Rock has averaged around 5 million viewers. Not a lot, but dramatically more than the 250,000 Boss got.
