Why does Nick at Nite air the exact same line-up every weeknight? Why don’t they air more shows by varying the weeknight, prime-time line up? Why can’t they give their viewer variety???

It costs more. The more shows, the more people they have to pay for the rights. Running only a few at a time saves money.
