I don't think big budget TV was really a thing at that point, to be honest. If you started making money hand over fist with a show, you would just keep cranking on the formula and buy a new house. There was no reinvestment into the show. Makes sense really - the market is fickle and if the show lost popularity the next year, the additional money would be lost.
