Characterization
Different shows all have their own way of grabbing on to the audience and holding their attention. The shows that do it the best are the ones that stick around. One of the biggest factors, other than being interesting, is how the characters are portrayed and how well we can relate to them. One of the main factors about the characters is that they are put on the show to ellicit a response from us; they want us to form an opinion about them. Every show has a character that everyone loves. Everyone has a character that they hate, or can relate to. Then when the show has to introduce new characters each time, they try to reveal as much as possible about them to get the audience to form an attachment to them, because the more we know them, we stronger emotions we have about them.

I think it is true that we are able to relate. That is a big thing because we are more likely to be interested in a character we can relate to such as somebody who is getting married, rather than random people who don't necessarily have a link with the audience. We all have mothers who are married, and most of us look forward to becoming a part of a wedding scene. Some are wives; some may be husbands, but they all have a link to the show in some way or another.
