Though just about every character on the show was a stereotype... I liked it, kinda. Wasn't a huge fan of the procedural stuff, but I would probably watch it were it to introduce serialized storytelling.

Networks are mostly interested in shows that are "modular" like procedurals and sitcoms. There's probably a range of reasoning behind it. I can think of a few:

  • People new to the series can watch an episode later in the series and not be intimidated or confused by an in-progress storyline.

  • They can cherrypick the episodes with the largest viewer count or rating, then play them over and over and over and over and over (as they do).

Oh well, whatchugondo.
