I think they look at the time slots and the age demographics. There are always so many shows each Fall, and so often when a particular type is well-received, too many of those types glut the new market.
I don't think the networks give shows much of a chance, though. I was reading about some of the older shows from the 80's that I loved as a teen, and how the networks let them try for a couple of seasons to find the right audience and they finally did. Just think, without that kind of chance, we wouldn't have had Cheers, Taxi, Facts of Life, and several others!!
