The problem is providing content to a 24 hour 7 day a week entertainment cable business. That's why we have such mediocre programming. Repos shows, swamp people, ice road truckers, reruns and re runs, duck dynasty. These shows are cheap to produce and are profitable.

If Mark Twain or William Shakespeare were alive today all their work would be shown in one season. We would then have Romeo and Juliet meat Godzilla, Hamlet IV, Huckleberry Finn goes to college and so on.

It is very hard to come up with quality programming, but the time slots have to be filled.
