| as I am fond of saying, there are no rules. But the recipe has to have at least 2 ingredients I think-great producing and great marketing (not entirely separate, obviously). Beyond that, good material doesn't hurt, but your list admits of at least one exception to that rule. I think another interesting way to look at this is to focus on the word "icon" and ruminate on the different paths these shows took to becoming iconic. What is/are the icon(s)? and how did they get that way? |
