The game show/reality show thing comes around every 10 years or so. People get sick of it then move on. The sitcom was pronounced "dead" the year before The Cosby Show debuted.
I know for me, I hate to get involved in a show that I know I'll HAVE to watch every week to keep up. That's why I like Law & Order - the most they do is a 2 parter. There are things you know about the characters if you watch a while, but not knowing doesn't prevent you understanding what's going on in the show.
I'd be into a miniseries along the time-lines of Roots, actually.
