What makes TV shows so enticing

So many TV shows  come out every year, and yet only a fraction of the shows make it to the second season.      I feel like it is easy to make a show that people will watch but its hard to make a show that people will keep on watching for several seasons or more. 



Over the span of my life I have invested in many different shows, spanning from spongebob and adventure time, to NCIS and 24, to Lost and Walking Dead, and to Monk and Pysch.  Each of these Shows are good in their own way.  Spongebob and adventure time is just pure childish fun, Monk and Pysch are hilarious, and all the other movies have great story lines and an intense background.  I feel like what made me keep on coming back to the fun shows was the endearing characters.  While the other more story driven series kept me guessing on what was happening next and kept on making me want to come back the with twists at the end of the episode. 

I think one thing that shows have over movies is the amount time they can invest developing the characters and the plot.  And i believe that these are the things that shows need to accomplish to be successful.
