Upon reflection I will admit that maybe "mainstream" was not the correct term to use in the first place. I was thinking more like, "successful enough to justify further investment and sequels/future seasons". Not ****ing "Shake it Off"!
It wasn't a tremendously serious suggestion - more like trying to give an example of what would be mainstream by those standards.
