figuring out why we always say it didn't have an audience. It went FIVE seasons. If it had no audience, wouldn't it have had a much shorter life?

I think the thing that sets this show apart is that the episodes don't stand alone. The story isn't wrapped up neatly at the end of the hour. And I think that has put some people off. Plus there's no clear demarcation between right & wrong, good guys & bad guys, and I think the majority of viewers want to turn their brains off when they turn the television on.

But I still dispute the "no audience" theory.
