It's a rare, rare talent to accurately gauge the tastes of a different generation - Aaron Spelling wasn't a legend for nothing; he had a real, if generally revolting, gift. #3 My last hunch - do Millennials really want to watch shows about people <i>like</i> them when they can just watch themselves instead? #1 Yes, it sucked.
