Three realities.
1) Overnight ratings in the major markets have doomed weaker shows. A few years ago, the programmers had to wait for one of the three "major" sweeps (basically February, May and November) to see how a show is really doing. Now, they know the next morning and have the opportunity to panic an cancel a show before it has the chance to gather an audience.
2) So called "reality" and game shows are much cheaper to produce.
3) So called "quality" shows are much more expensive to produce, thus there are less of them on the air -- and fewer episodes are being produced so you only get to see new ones during the "new season" and those pesky major ratings sweeps I mentioned above.
You do the math.
