The public would rather watch crap like Dancing With the "Stars," Bob's Burgers, and of course: American Idol.

It's true that a lot of the recent fantasy shows have bombed, but a lot of that has to do with scripts...
Look at the first season of Hero's. Good script and a good show -- then it went down-hill. The recent series The Cape had a good idea, but lousy script -- and the main actor (forget his name) just could not pull off the character.
I think with fantasy series people have high expectations and the developers are not up to the task right now...
Never watched Idol... My wife watches Dancing, but for me it's easy to avoid...
I really do like a good SciFi show and periodically re-watch Firefly/Serenity from and the Dresden Files from SF Channel. Or I read...
BTW, I will check out Wonder Woman, just to see how this new actress does. She looks pretty hot and that seems to be able to take a mediocre series a long way...
