I definitely could not have done that with Mad Men or even Breaking Bad. However, the ideas of having "paid changes that show less commercials and have different nights dedicated to the most popular new series" is not something that could catch on since a) Netflix is still the most popular streaming site and will be for years to come b) that defeats the purpose of having TV in the first place. There are some shows that are better being shown on TV once a week. Shows such as Modern Family, Simpsons, and General Hospital work better in low dosages. It will be too redundant to binge-way comedy shows. Likewise, it makes more sense for the series to create their own websites and stream previous seasons (something that already happens for some shows). If series put all their new episodes on their website all at once, there will be no point of watching TV. Companies make money off the number of ratings, hits, and views of their shows which is how they build interest and increase their audience.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363559085672396674noreply@blogger.com
