I "only" watch about 3 or 4 seasons of TV a year, but the notion that we're approaching a limit on the selection of financially viable shows is interesting to me as someone who's interested in the shape/direction of popular culture (and a McLuhan student). The focus this has put on more niche/underserved demographics strikes me as world-changing - I don't believe it's an accident that gay/transgender rights have made huge leaps forward as the splintering of mass media have allowed more voices out there.
