They're trying that with the pitt. This article kinda covers it. I think producers are thinking if we went back to 70's through 90's style visual effects and set designs it would turn people off.

Take star trek. They had the bridge, engineering, and a couple of other sets they could basically fit into one warehouse. Same with friends, Seinfeld, all the 20th century hits. Now shows are much more sprawling and vx intensive.

But yes! I would love to see a return to no frills, well written, prolific shows. I would watch the shit out of a good start trek reboot!
