So, you’re probably wondering what we need to do to make the undeniable case to revive the show. Shazaam, here is the over-simplified formula for approving the production:

Business Case Justification Formula:

Average cost of production/show (production expenses, actors salaries, promotion) + primary actor salary increases (future) < 30 commercials x Average commercial revenue (determined by number of viewers and likely demographic) + licensing and merchandising (future) + syndication revenue (future)

Essentially, we would need to prove that viewership would be high enough to generate significant commitments to advertising during the show. As long as viewership remains predictably high, advertisers will continue to spend marketing budgets to support it.
