In the UK you can finanacially get away with doing 13 total episodes for a whole series. In america that's half a season. It would not make any sense for NBC to invest in a show that doesn't have the potential to last 5 years. A show has to have a 100 episodes before it is financially feasible to be syndicated after it is done. I agree too that the characters are becoming cartoons.
