I totally agree. I think the problem for AMC is that their advertising base and some syndication dough could have supported shows with the success level of Archer, Wilfred, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The wild success of Mad Men took it to another level of cost and raised expectations of what all future AMC shows would have to provide viewers.
