I know this may be controversial, but ESPN's Grantland.com had this somewhat intriguing piece:

If you read the full article, I personally think the whole problem comes down to this: NBC's Sunday Night Football has become a gigantic ratings juggernaut that pretty much wipes out other Sunday night programming during the NFL regular season unless you're a fan of the NFL. No wonder why the all the other networks wait until after the end of the NFL season to put their showcase programming on Sunday nights--including HBO's very successful Game of Thrones.

Dear Sunday, What happened? You used to be the highlight of my week; now we’re barely seeing each other. A few months ago, we were inseparable. In fact, if we’re being honest, you were coming on almost too strong. Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Veep, Silicon Valley all at once? With a scoop of John Oliver for dessert and a dollop of Penny Dreadful for a postprandial snack? That’s a recipe for either obsession or a restraining order, and I loved every minute of it. |
