It is an enormous effort by Fox and must be the envy of the industry for its success both in viewers and as a financial venture. It has drawn and held mega advertisers who would flee if they don't get their money's worth.

The imitators are mostly veneer, surface coloration or embellishment. The imitators are ginned up by TV types and lack the organizational depth that make AI successful.
