The Conners S6

[Lurch25]

So they let us down again and wonder why people leave sky in droves I been a customer of the tv service for 20 years I only cancelled when they started to take all the channels down like lifetime etc most the shows I did watch on sky are now on streaming platforms that have nothing to do with sky , sky really need to get back with it when we had everything we wanted in one place now there are hardly any channels and even sky cinema used to get new movies daily yet now still seeing movies on there as new that have been on there for over 20 years sky and virgin tv are dead in the water unless they can get rights to shows like this or decent original content

It's the most watched show in the USA in the sitcom category with record breaking ratings so that can't be the case it's got to be sky being cheap !

Viewership in the US does not necessarily indicate success in UK (and vice versa)

Both Seinfeld and Everyone loves Raymond were big US successes, but I think it was not same here.

Without any concrete data, it is impossible. Maybe the distributor wanted too much money.

The fact it wasn't until it was in the fifth season in the US  that someone picked it up, is indicative of problems re getting it into the UK market
