I have to agree with ByteDruid - it may just be targeting demographics
My guess is that mainstream sitcomes and especially dramas are watched by more women than men and that's why they are being developed the way they are.
I'm a male and these are some of the shows/channels I (unashamedely :) watch:
- Comedy Central
- Daily Show
- Colbert Report
- Fox
- Family Guy
- PBS
- Nature
- Blue Planet
- Discovery Channel
- Mythbusters
- Animal Planet
- Animal Cops
- HBO
- Flight of the Conchords
- Entourage
- Movies
- Bravo
- Top Chef
- Project Runway
- NBC
- The Office
- A&E
- Intervention
Do you notice something? No primetime sitcoms or dramas with ONE exception. The Office.
I simply don't care about primetime dramas or sitcoms. And I get most of my news from the internet.
Most men I know have similar tastes in terms of channels and shows. I know very few men who watch primetime sitcoms or dramas.
Maybe this is simply marketing?
