It's all about ratings...they are adding shows about a farmer who gets to choose between 10 city girls and a bunch of other demeaning stuff. VM just never generated the ratings...people complain about lack of quality on TV but shows that actually have smart writing, character development and stuff that actually makes one think are always short-lived. As with anything, we get what we deserve...Pussycat Dolls and America's Next Top Mindless Ditz.
I doubt Buffy would survive on TV today, we should be thankful that a quality show got 7 years...shows like Wonderfalls, Dark Angel, Forever Knight, and so many more were shortchanged. Frankly, I'm surprised that a show like Bones is doing so well but even that pales in popularity to the mindless procedurals of CSI. Criminal Minds is a hit but The Inside failed. The Wedding Bells was genuinely funny...and quickly gone. Drive wasn't on long enough to get a feel for it and of course, there is Firefly!
