Or the fact that the show that it was spun off of royally screwed up their final season, causing a backlash.
PS: I wouldn't say Community "suffered"; they lasted on television five years later than they should have despite horrendous acting and subpar writing. | geemoney

Funny thing about that show...I know a number of people who started out as fans of it, then discover the original on MeTV, and suddenly they can't watch the new version anymore.

I can only work with what they give me. :-) All things considered, it's an appropriate one-sentence pitch.
MADAM SECRETARY stars Téa Leoni as Elizabeth McCord, the shrewd, determined, newly appointed Secretary of State who drives international diplomacy, battles office politics and circumvents protocol as she negotiates global and domestic issues, both at the White House and at home. A college professor and a brilliant former CIA analyst who left for ethical reasons, Elizabeth returns to public life at the request of the President following the suspicious death of her predecessor. The President values her apolitical leanings, her deep knowledge of the Middle East, her flair for languages and her ability to not just think outside the box, but to not even acknowledge there is a box. McCord's team includes her Chief of Staff Nadine Tolliver (Emmy Award winner Bebe Neuwirth), speechwriter Matt Mahoney (Geoffrey Arend), press coordinator Daisy Grant (Patina Miller) and her charming assistant, Blake Moran (Erich Bergen). As McCord debates third world problems and finesses foreign dignitaries at work, that's just a warm-up for when she goes home to her supportive husband Henry (Tim Daly) and their two bright children (Katherine Herzer and Evan Roe), where "politics" and "compromise" take on new meaning.

I am a big time H5O fan from the old days so I was VERY sleptical when this show started. Really the only thing that is the same are the names. Now I am hooked in the same way Mr Heel II is and in the same way I was hooked on CSI:Miami. It's a mindless 45 minutes on the elliptical when I get done fast forwarding through the commercials.
and my wife & I have never missed an episode of SURVIVOR. It's not the same show it used to be but it is still fun to watch the idiots make the same mistakes show after show sfter show. | CRZ

Nein nein nein (vulture.com).

You must be thinking off something else. The NFL hasn't been on TNT since 1997.
The NFL only sold off eight Thursday games to CBS, not the complete schedule. They decided to keep most of the later in the year games for themselves, which is about the same amount of games they had before the NFL expanded the Thursday night schedule. The 10/30, November and December Thursday games are only on NFL Network (and all the CBS games will also air on NFL Network.) CBS also gets a game on Saturday 12/30 - both the Eagles/Redskins and Chargers/49ers play at 4:30 pm ET, so one goes to CBS and one goes to NFL Network. | Peter The Hegemon

While your counterargument is compelling, my search for "Tea Leoni Hillary Clinton" returned about 2,630,000 results (google.com). Now, that means NOTHING, but I seem to recall the Clintons had some friends in Hollywood...nah, go ahead, protest away at my baseless conjecture. In fact, watch the show and tell me how wrong I am - I won't be able to argue with you 'cause I ain't watchin' it!
(But also, did you see her character's hairdo? Come on, man. You gotta AT LEAST give me three just for that - they definitley aren't going for Madeline Albright or Condoleezza Rice there) | Peter The Hegemon
