As I noted when the Sheen story started, syndicators see 200 episodes as a full order for a show and 2.5M has already done 186. After that the payoff for the studio and network goes back to first run episodes and the outlay for actors and writers makes continuing the show doubtful. NBC ran into a similar situation with Friends and they made the decision to do a season after they reached 200 shows mostly because of the lack of replacement possibilities. We'll see what happens with 2.5M. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People! You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TV or Not TV" group.
