You hittin real close to home breh. There's no WAY a show like Almost Human shouldn't get at least two more seasons to expand and grow, especially given that the rating were solid. It's like the Network Gods giveth and taketh away because we got a second season of Shield but no Almost Human? Genre television should be a mandated three season commitment from networks. Look at Arrow, the first season had its rough points but the second season was:blessed:

While I feel you breh, the problem with that is they don't have the same leeway that cable has when it comes to revenue and that's ultimately what does a show in. If a show costs a pretty penny to produce and it's not turning in the ratings to offset the costs, AND it's not produced in house? It's cancelled. SHIELD's ratings have been terrible but it will stay on because Disney has invested so much into the Marvel brand and it's produced in house, so it makes more sense for them to try to push it so that it will get to syndication and then they can make more money off of it. Arrow is on the CW where the rating ceiling is different. I will admit that networks don't always allow for shows to thrive (enlisted debuting on Fridays behind a show that was moved to Fridays because the ratings were decreasing) but like I said, they don't have the same liberties that cable has. it's catch 22

:mindblown:I really dont understand why they have not tried to change atleast a little bit.. A show like young justice or Avenger EMH can be great but they cancel because of the toys not doing well, like only little kids watch cartoons, like the marvel and DC universe hasnt been around forever, people watched when they were younger and then grew up still a fan especially with the movies coming out, shyt they arent aimed at kids... :mindblown:

Because that's how those shows make their money.

Believe it or not, older audiences watching those shows is a BAD thing.

Why? They should make video games instead of toys, they can't expect older people to not watch when their are movies and tv shows aimed at the 13-30 crowd
