Because there's enough people like me to make it profitable. I don't want to feel committed every time I turn on the TV. Sometimes I just like to watch whatever's on, carefree. Different strokes, all equally valid.

But I would watch the two episodes a day that my local Fox affiliate would broadcast. If I actually pick a specific episode to watch (or nowadays to stream) it somewhere seems like I need to pay more attention to it than when I was watching a regularly scheduled syndicated episode. With the later it puts me in the same mindset as listening to radio...a casual thing that I might multitask with other things, such as reading or doing a crossword puzzle.
