Well, one decent show got the ax.
I don't really blame the networks for the glut of reality shows. They are cheap to produce and offer an incredible ROI, even the low rated ones. TV is painfully democratic. As good as it was, Arrested Development cost much more to make than Temptation Island and pulled in fewer viewers.
NBC's fall schedule pulls back somewhat from reality and puts more emphasis on scripted shows. Let's see if they're rewarded for it.
