They did a wonderful job with social media, online and mobile. However, it’s not the only game in town. In my opinion, traditional advertising is still part of the equation, especially with a network tv show’s first season run. This is not a criticism of social media, as it’s vital in the promotion of any new piece of Mantoonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732721553418878547.post-31920993429204481402016-08-03T11:31:02.774-07:002016-08-03T11:31:02.774-07:00I think you are right the show would have been bet...I think you are right the show would have been better off on PBS on Masterpiece Mysteries or something.

I know very few people who still watch broadcast TV in real time. Among the people I work with -- 20s and 30s -- I'm the only person who still has cable, and even I only DVR programs.<br /><br />When I was talking to the Fox press people, even they said they expected this wouldn't be a series many people would watch in broadcast.
