They look at a show strictly from the business perspective of what it is doing for me now and how much it's costing me.<br /><br />They fail to think about how moving a show can do more damage than harm.<br /><br />They fail to think about how short seasons and long helliatuses can result be damaging.<br /><br />They fail to think about how much advertising is needed when a show is not well known or an instant hit.<br /><br />They fail to think about how they can do creative advertising that not only can bring in more eyes, but get eye from one show to check out another show on their channel (USA Net. gets a bit of a pass on this).<br /><br />They fail to see how having a leader, a visionary, a creative genius who's allowed to be those things (at minimum, most of the time) can be great for a show vs. their own ideas of what works.<br /><br />They choose crappy and affordable over risky, but breathtakingly brilliant story telling.<br /><br />They fail to see that they are slaves to a model that gives them a horrible read on eyeballs and requires a massive, sustained effort by fans to save a show. Nor do they seem to consider that it's a relatively small percentage of fans doing that work.<br /><br />They fault fans (again, in a flawed measuring system) for not still showing up after making all those mistakes and more.<br /><br />They cut those shows and walk off with hefty paychecks despite all their bumbling idiocy.<br /><br />~Jonathan<br />Kearney, NE<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5039601815822623507.post-43493969923410527092013-05-16T22:35:04.606-04:002013-05-16T22:35:04.606-04:00Such good points!

Shooting, plane crash, lost baby, dead friend, dead friend, dead friend, near bombing... I mean it's a little unrealistic, now. And Glee always half addresses issues. The school shooting ep this season was just badly done. And about Pretty Little liars, you are spot on. I don't watch Revenge, but if it's anything like PLL, I imagine it's filled with unnecessary dramatics and confusing plot holes. Your writing is very good when you review, very clear and very blunt (in a great, sassy kind-of-way!) Please keep reviewing and writing! I will check up often! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
