I was just listening to a documentary special about the Golden Girls and thought about how all documentary specials about TV shows are about really popular ones that are always described as groundbreaking and shows everyone watched. Just for a change, it'd be interesting to see one that says "this show was so generic, there was nothing special about it, and the audience didn't care"

Interesting shows get more money, and interesting things drive up YouTube engagement.

The special I was watching that inspired this was on ABC, not YouTube. But YouTube is a good place to find videos about TV shows.
