What makes a drama a hit?

There are two ways of looking at what makes a TV drama a hit. One way is simply looking at what is a commercial success, what is watched by many people, and gets advertisers to pay a lot for spots on the show. There is another measure of what makes a TV show a hit, however, and that is whether it is elevating literature. Where is the quality, and what is creating an influence on culture generally, as well as the nature of storytelling and changing what audiences expect. Raising the bar, in other words, for television.
