The point is that ratings were not low and it is pointless for people to assume it is ratings or money in an attempt to deflect from liberal censorship.

The ratings that matter were not good.  To assume a company owned by Disney cares about anything but money shows a total lack of understand of the Disney company.

Why would it, you are waking in step with the the others.  Sort of how you only ever call me out for things and give your fellow right wingers a free pass

 

For the record, I am not a Republican and wouldn't have any more to do with that political party than I would with the Democratic party.  The reason I posted a link associated with Fox was because it was the only one I found that I felt appropriate for this site.  There was a much better article elsewhere, but unfortunately in the comment section at the bottom of it there were multiple comments with inappropriate language to be seen on these boards.

An attack on diversity? Really? A canceled show is an attack on diversity? Networks cancel shows for one good reason. Ratings. Ratings make money. Networks want to make money. End of story. There is no conspiracy here, nothing to see folks, just move on. But of course if you really like the show, you are free to write into the network and ask that they keep it on the aire. I did that back in the 90's with "Alien Nation". It still got cancelled though. 

 

The definition of diversity is as follows

diversity >noun (pl. diversities) 1 the state of being diverse. 2 a diverse range; a variety

 

Considering this is the only show on that network, and one of the few on all of television that expresses a conservative viewpoint, it is a fair assessment.  Can you name any other show that doesn't express a liberal viewpoint?  As far as ratings go, I guess you didn't actually look into that or read the article considering it was the second highest rated comedy show on the network.

As far as this argument about money, again, it would help if you actually read the information before speaking on it.  ABC had renewed the contract for 2 more years not long ago, and has made no claim that money had anything to do with their motives.  What they are claiming is a conflict in scheduling, which is kinda odd that your third highest rated show can't be slotted anywhere in a 7 day week.

We do not know that ABC said it was a conflict in scheduling, we know that FoxNews said ABC  told them that.  I find it hard to belive that ABC gave FoxNews an exclusive.  Remember also that 20th Century Fox (the company that makes the show) and FoxNews are owned by the same parent company. So, they have a stake in the show not being canceled, as they are losing money unless they can shop it to a different network. 

It is the 2nd highest rated comedy on ABC but is not even in the top 10 in the 18-49 age group which is the demographic which sets the advertising rates.

I can't really comment on the details in regards to advertising rates because I really don't know anything about that.  What I do know is this, half of the American people are not liberal, are half of the shows on television conservative?

The only shows I watch with any regularity are cooking shows and college football, and the occasional baseball game, so I cannot really speak to what the shows are like.

I am also not really sure what makes a show "liberal" or "conservative".   In my younger days I was a big fan of Cheers and The A Team.  I am not sure what those two shows would have been considered.

I loved Cheers, one of my all-time favorites.  Back then shows were neither, politics hadn't yet invaded the entertainment industry, at least not to the level it has today.  Today shows are constantly taking political shots, to me it is not right regardless of which side is doing it.  As far as determining diversity though, it was the entertainment industry that set the bar so to speak.  This began with the homosexual agenda and their push to be all inclusive by writing in a homosexual character to express "diversity".  Now there is pretty much at least one homosexual character on every show, and my personal opinion regarding diversity is the total lack of expressing the viewpoint that half of the country adheres to.  As I said before, I am not a Republican, but I am a conservative, so it disturbs me that none of the shows on television express anything I can relate to, if that makes sense.  Also, that is probably why I really don't watch TV anymore, at this point, only two shows left worth my time.

Yes, and that show was considered to be very controversial at that time as it was the first show to start delving into a mixture of politics and entertainment.  Again, you quote me but don't actually digest the words I typed.  Take a look at the end of what you quoted..... "at least not to the level it has today."

Want another example "Three's Company"
