Now that season 22 of Nis ended, season 23 arriving in September, he exceeded the total of the races of Star Trek: The next generation,, New deep spaceAnd TravelerWho all lasted seven seasons, and it is only three years old to spend them all in the number of cumulative episodes. While science fiction emissions have always struggled to maintain the ratings, the broad appearance of the Police procedure of the Record Navy transformed it into the most popular program of the country several times. It is the harsh reality to be a fan of gender television, that no matter how a series like a series The extent Or The Orville Maybe it’s on difficulty every week on the air, while the adventures of the young Leeroy Jethro Gibbs return for a second season.
The scruff of notes
Star Trek: The original series became a cultural institution of years after being canceled for low notes, although reality is that it was one of NBC’s most successful emissions at the time, regularly winning its time slot, at least at the start, but the notes cropped and the public has moved away, scary the network in an early cancellation. More than 30 years later, Nis Also had trouble during its first two seasons, before set fire in season 3, when the Ziva on the side of Pablo has become part of the main distribution. A show had time to find an audience, the other has been cut at the knees, and this model is repeated today.
There are several reasons why Firefly couldn’t even broadcast all his episodes, but NCIS: Hawaii broadcast for three seasons. On the one hand, science fiction can be expensive, you need different sets, planets, stranger Makeup regularly, and VFX holds several times a season, while a procedure is, by its nature, inexpensive in comparison. Second, it is much more difficult to write well science fiction Whether it is a procedure, the two take talents, but the first must resist the most intense level of “fans” while the second does not seem to know how computers work.
Science fiction is too dense for the dominant current
This is the real reason why Nis has earned more money than each Star Trek series this century, The extent,, The Orville,, The Mandalorian,, Three bodily problemsand even Supernatural Operating: it is easily accessible and the fans go out and undress when there is a series that does not use them, they do not create a fire storm on social networks. From the point of view of a studio director, this is sure money, which is why each year sees a new procedure hitting the airwaves even if its premise is as fragile as Tracker It is considered a better bet than adapting Hooffire guide on galaxy in the episodic format it deserves.
Again, Nis Fans cannot correspond to the passion of a Star Wars, Star Trek or even The extent Fan, who will all dress like their favorite characters, will play video games, read linked novels (or source novels in the case of The extent) and find a little of themselves in the elaborate science fiction worlds which take place before them week after week. What makes these franchises excellent is what makes it toxic to a net result of the studios. CBS must be grateful that he has the spin-off of Tony and Zhiva in preparation, because after Star Trek: Section 31Even the purest and hard trekks are terrified by what will follow for the franchise.
NCIS is worth more than the greatest science fiction shows
This “safe” money is added, with a season of Nis is worth more money than the five Babylon 5,, And the amount of money that Sean Murray has won to play McGee for 22 seasons means that he has won more than the entire distribution of Stuffing And Stargate universe. There is the initial diffusion, then the constant rehearsals, which at this stage are sufficient to maintain an entire wired chain. Even the best science fiction series, go ahead, choose your favorite, cannot affect this financial rate of return and, above all, return viewers.
Nis Has had trouble during his first two seasons, but the favorites of acclaimed fans, of which Supernatural,, Babylon 5,, StuffingAnd The extenthas experienced entire difficulties, CW leaders admitting that the Winchester brothers were kept on the waves for 15 seasons thanks to social media, and not to the actual number of viewers. The procedures are safe, a little dull, but even the worst of them resemble comforting foods, while science fiction can be difficult, stimulating and requires paying attention. This is also another reason why even the best of them cannot get closer to the most successful series of the last 20 years.
Granted, Nis It is not a bad show, it is well done, and even if you will always know that a trend has died when presented in an episode, it is part of the kitsch charm of the harmless series. You can put on a random episode of any season and be entertained, which you cannot do with your favorite science fiction series. Imagine if you started Battlestar Galactica With “Exodus, Part II?”
Keep in mind, whenever fans are starting to discuss Article 31 Or Discovery destroyed Star Trek, or that Killjoys is underestimated, which, in the end, is a tiny drop in the bucket of the landscape of entertainment. Nis Perhaps not very exciting, but it translates into massive popularity like any fan of science fiction dreams of their favorite reception.
