I watch these channels all the time dance around the reason they are failing, it is amazing how oblivious these network people are. In their own little (socialist hollywood) world....
No, we just don't want the ABC version. The Hallmark Channel had hours of a salute to America type show. Just patriotic or "American" type music (song at least had to have USA or America in the title - like "Born in the USA" "American Pie" etc.) with scenes from across this beautiful land. Monument Valley, children playing, bridge going up over the Chicago River to allow boats through etc. And NO snotty, elitist telling us what to think or how we should be responding to what we were seeing. (Hint, major networks - high-dollar suits aren't even necessary.)
