I also think the huge amount of competition that exists now in TV negates the ability of a 24 episode a season show to get a lot of viewers. TV shows are shorter than they used to be, but there's a lot more of them.

And many actors in them also do movies, and its unlikely that calibre of actor is going to want to sign on to 24 episodes a season shows as a main.
