Either way its win-win for everyone...

Really?
I knew that a successful viewership (or whatever) for a cable channel was smaller than a successful viewership (there's that word again..), but I didn't know it was that much smaller. As I understand it, Two and Half Men (I sort of remember this from an article I read this weekend) pulls in an average of like 9 million viewers, yet the article implied the show was a failure.
Why is that? I mean, I get all my broadcast stations through my satellite, which I assume is the same for most everybody, why are the standards still set so high for the broadcast channels?
I'm a big fan of television, but know very little about it, which sort of explains why the shows I think are worth a damn always seem to get cancelled....
