Honestly, network television is all about appealing to the older demographic now. So there are endless crime procedurals, multicam sitcoms with audiences - some of which are reboots of old favorites, and sensationalized 'news' shows featuring the murder of the week. All simple products with very little depth. And it's exactly what brings in ratings from those who still watch TV traditionally. It 'moneyballs' Nielsen. CBS cracked the code a few years back and now the other networks have followed suit.
