I &quot;only&quot; watch about 3 or 4 seasons of TV a year, but the notion that we&#x27;re approaching a limit on the selection of financially viable shows is interesting to me as someone who&#x27;s interested in the shape&#x2F;direction of popular culture (and a McLuhan student).  The focus this has put on more niche&#x2F;underserved demographics strikes me as world-changing - I don&#x27;t believe it&#x27;s an accident that gay&#x2F;transgender rights have made huge leaps forward as the splintering of mass media have allowed more voices out there.
