In England, on the BBC - their television shows only film about 6 - 10 episodes. That is their season. Do you think that would be successful here? Think of 'Sex and the City' or 'The Sopranos'. The season isn't very long and those shows have been very successful. (BTW - I am not suggesting that the Big 4 (or Big 5 if you want to count the CW) use shows with this amount of sexuality or violence; just the same number of shows.)
Incidently, in one of the recent Entertainment Weekly mags, they had an article about NBC seriously considering dropping scripted shows to only 2 hours a night (from 8-10 or 9-11, depending on your time zone). They would show reality and game shows during the 7 pm or 8pm hour.
