Yes, I think every and any Network Executive would be well advised to read and absorb this article. Oh, well, I'm sure they'll figure it out after it's too late! LOL Great article, well thought out.

I would love for the author to take a copy of this if he/she hasn't already done so and send it to CBS Paramount, Attn, Nancy Tellem, to give her an excellent overview of just how much money Jericho could generate over time and how little Big Brother (for example) would generate over the same time frame. Money definitely talks, so let's hope the network can think in years and not just in months. This is a great article or blog, which ever fits.

I agree that there's a place for "fluff" TV, but it has grown to fill too much of the networks' primetime schedule. A side effect seems to be that the reality shows have to get trashier and more shocking in order to attract the fickle audience away from other reality shows. I'm all for solid, scripted TV shows. As viewers and customers, we shouldn't let the networks get away with broadcasting all fluff. I think we either protest or tune out. Thanks for writing this.
