Most of the good shows stick around 1-2 seasons then it's Hasta la vista, thanks for playing, please try again next season. I know they can't keep every show on the air but I think there should be a better way of picking which shows become the next "M*A*S*H" and which shows become the next "E/R". (The sitcom version that aired in 1984, and only had 13 episodes. A show that I say deserved more credit and episodes than it was given) I know that ratings are what determines a show's length, but what about the people who do watch a certain show, should they have to lose one of their favorite shows because for every one of them, 10 other people didn't watch that show??
