Why choose to air an old show that isn’t really as popular and make less money when you can air a different show from around the same time period, that was extremely popular and make more money. It’s good business sense.

Make money for who? Not us the people. Make money for greedy tw@s the sort of greedy tw@s that would be slave owners given the chance.

And what do those people do with their money? Invest in wars to make more money.

So you ask the question "why choose an old show?"

Answer. Because maybe that is what the people want.
