Another thing that may have had a big part to play in the death of TP
(as well as shows like 30Somthing) is the fact they are expensive to
make. Visually these shows are striking, they are well (or were)
scripted and well acted. It must be a hell of a lot cheaper to make
something like Married w/Children or Cops. So if the rating dropped at
all they would have reason to pull the plug.
