I am not usually interested in ABC shows nor do I know anyone who watches them but I am curious.
I heard back in the early 2010s shows on ABC like "Once Upon A Time" had viewerships past 10 million viewers in America alone.
I was under the impression that the average viewer of an ABC show are people from the suburbs in their 30s that thought HBO was too "graphic" for them. Is that just a preconceived notion or is there some truth to that?
Back in 2015 there was this show called "Astronaut Wives Club".
Upon seeing the first trailer of this I immediately brushed it off as another ABC soap opera but during the quarantine I checked it out because of boredom as well as curiosity and it turned out to be a decent alternate history drama. There were some parts that reminded me greatly of "Battlestar Galactica".
Like "Astronaut Wives Club" it included soap opera
but unlike it also included exciting space sequences
And not just men but women joining in the great adventure.
Now that is the kind of show ABC should have made back in 2015.
When "The Astronaut Wives Club" premiered on ABC in 2015 it got more than 5 million American viewers and dropped a little below 4 million viewers by it's last episode while "The Expanse" only had a little over 1 million US viewers.
Would a space adventure like Apple TV's "For All Mankind" have appealed to a wider audience since it did not have any weird sci fi concepts in it?
