Not sure why you think that. Networks are in the business to make money - if a show doesn't make money or the ratings it needs, it gets cancelled. It really has nothing to do with the success or failure of the Big Bang Theory.
It has done fine in the music industry, where people buy a lot of single songs and not albums.
Heck I would just be happy if you could pay for just the channels you want on a monthy basis and have an option to only pay for an HD or SD channel (not both like you currently do).
