Let's hope they learn their lesson from the fact that no one has missed this season much while it gave way to March Sadness. I think this season's loopy social media notion was an effort to draw in younger viewers, but I doubt it worked.

Without reading the article I can tell you that one reason why so much of American TV is meh while foreign shows are better is because US TV panders to the lowest-common denominator audience, which in the ends pleases nobody and makes for unoriginal, unmemorable programming.
This is why shows like 'Mad Men' are brilliant; they did the exact opposite but unfortunately their ratings weren't high. And we all know that cable/broadcast networks are slaves to the almighty ratings/fetal-18 ad revenue potential whereas non-US shows are not.

The Cousin Oliver effect– whenever an aging TV series tries to attract a younger audience that's usually a sign it's jumped the shark.
If broadcast TV would stop allowing itself to be so hyper-depedent on the fetal-18 age range audience, their shows would easily survive if they cleverly marketed to the GenX/BabyBoom market, that group of people who still watch TV on a TV, that group who have loads of money to spend (far more than the broke Millennials who aren't buying anything except iphones), that disenfranchised group that could save the networks but nobody seems interested in marketing to them except the drug industry.
Who do the networks think will still be watching any of their shows, on a television set no less? It won't be the millennials that's for sure. The cable industry is in its death throes because of them.
