In response to "Yeah, I wonder what it's getting on Hulu and such, becuase the traditional metrics really stretch it;" by Will Hunting

The other thing to consider is that four seasons means syndication, which incentivizes them to renew this year.

But an NBC show getting 2.2 million viewers should get canned.

Wikipedia says "In recent years, the bare minimum of episodes for off-network syndication has been set at 81, with the ideal minimum now set at 88" - mara Nov 3, 09:23 1
- Nikita was a recent one that only got 6 episodes in season 4, just to keep syndication potential. - David Nov 3, 09:26
4 years of 22 episodes, right? They're going to come up short if they short the season, no? - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:17 2
- 80 episodes is what tvbythenumbers usually uses for syndication minimum -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:22
- These days, it's four seasons rather than 88 episodes. Cougar Town was a good example of a show that earned benefit of the doubt this way. - David Nov 3, 09:22
