From my understanding, Clubhouse isn't a big hit with critics.
If a show fails to find an audience and doesn't impress critics, its time to let it go.
Critics what do they know? Not much IMO I never listen to critics, like I'm gonna let them dictate to me on what to watch or not to watch

Hmmm if that's true we probably wouldn't have Cheers or Seinfeld, etc.

But thats the difference.
Critics adored Cheers and Seinfeld.

This is why Arrested Development got renewed, it will win more awards than FOX could dream of.

Not all shows can be kept on forever, shows need to fail for others to be a success.

Think about this.... if all of ABC's new shows from last year succeeded, we would have never seen Desperate Housewives.

True, but AD isn't very highly rated, maybe they should cancel it? That's why I say critics don't mean anything IMO. Yes a show can be critically acclaimed and be low rated, or can be high rated with no critcal acclaim, don't both count?

AD isn't high rated, but it gets more critical acclaim than any other show on TV. Critics LOVE Arrested Development.

Both do count.
But if a show has neither (Clubhouse), its just not working.

That I agree with if it, has neither then yes , but I do still think all shows deserve a chance, if not networks could be passing on a show that might be the next Cheers, Seinfeld, etc...

What made Cheers and Seinfeld stick around though was that they were good.
Neither would have lasted if they got those ratings and the quality, of say, the monstrosity that is Listen Up.
