Why do scfi TV shows normaily have a hard time making it past the 4 or 5 season? Even good scfi shows?

seasons 4 / episodes 75 Battlestar Galactica

season 5 / episodes 100 Fringe

When you look shows like CSI ,NCIS ,Law and Order ,Bones ,Dallas (1978 TV series ,Survivor (U.S. TV series) ,NYPD Blue ,M*A*S*H ,Frasier so on.

Thay seem to not have problem making it to the 10 season and many times to 12 or 15 season or more.

Are scfi TV shows more costly to make ? Is that why? The fox network and sci fi network have been dumbing down shows and more into cheap reality shows and sports has of late.

I believe the ratings where much higher on those scfi shows I listed above than most reality shows but if it cost more to do scfi shows so they need higher ratings?

The 90's to 2005 was more year of scfi shows than after 2005 it was less shows and more cancellation.

I believe all the shows I listed above where cancelled because of low ratings or at least not high enough for the cost to make the show?
