What I mean is that they going into the 2020s, don't have a proper two hour comedy block (https://www.primetimer.com/quickhits/thursday-night-comedy-nbc). In recent times (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxaskkGpW1w&lc=UgwjonkaEuBunejV0-x4AaABAg), NBC's sitcoms have only lasted two seasons:

Young Rock (https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/13fud6t/young_rock_not_currently_on_nbcs_fall_schedule/) - 3 seasons 37 episodes
Kenan (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/uo73ey/kenan_mr_mayor_the_endgame_canceled_at_nbc/) - 2 seasons, 20 episodes
Mr. Mayor (https://www.reddit.com/r/MrMayor/comments/uo74av/mr_mayor_canceled_by_nbc_after_two_seasons/) - 2 seasons, 20 episodes
American Auto (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/14b8ibb/american_auto_canceled_by_nbc_after_2_seasons/) - 2 seasons, 23 episodes
Grand Crew (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/145fki4/young_rock_grand_crew_canceled_at_nbc/) - 2 seasons, 20 episodes


And instead of giving sitcoms a regular season's worth of 22 episodes, they typically get only 10 episodes a season. So there's the likelihood, that NBC wouldn't promote the show well (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InvisibleAdvertising) and just burn off the second season.

Come the fall of 2021 (https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/pc1fun/nbc_fall_line_up_has_no_comedies/), NBC had no comedies (https://time.com/6094071/fall-tv-network-comedies-canceled/) in its line-up.

NBC's two biggest sitcoms (https://www.nbc.com/shows/nbc/comedy) right now are Night Court and Lopez vs. Lopez, which each are going into their third seasons.

In their eyes, people don't care about scripted TV much anymore. I've been seeing the media push this narrative in recent times. It's not even onlysitcoms, but all scripted television. I can't tell you if this is true, however the idea that scripted TV is dying is absolutely bonkers to me.

In their eyes, people don't care about scripted TV much anymore.

In their eyes [also], NBC doesn't care to spend the money on scripted TV much anymore.

Even CBS doesn't have a proper two hour comedy block anymore. Between Dick Wolf, The Voice, and football NBC doesn't have much room left.

If scripted TV really is doing poorly, then I suppose it makes sense that they don't want to invest money into something that is giving them bad returns. That said, I want to believe scripted TV still has a place in this world, and personally, I prefer scripted to reality. But...I'm not much of a social butterfly, and I'm also not in the popular age demo for advertisers anymore. So my opinion doesn't really matter to them, does it?
