I think there are ways in which shows can pop their heads up a little bit in the morass of everything you can watch.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never try and do the same show, ever. The audience controls the dynamic of the shows. Sometimes they listen, and sometimes they ask a million questions.
I've seen a lot of shows, but I can't possibly cram in everything that I'd like to, and it's exhausting trying to.
Network television is all talk. I think there should be visuals on a show, some sense of mystery to it, connections that don't add up.
I like shows that have some level of intelligence to them. When it's not as predictable, when you don't know what's coming at you.
A show needs time to find an audience, and they're very quick to pull them off the air now.
I've seen a lot of my friends go through different reality shows, and they just get caught up in a lot of stagnant positions, unfortunately.
So much of television is incredibly predictable. You watch the first five minutes and you know where it's going to go. If you can just create an element of surprise in both the storytelling and tone of a show, you're going to be way ahead of the pack.
The only way to stop the erosion in network television is to come up with shows that are very popular.
I don't think it's that strange that a show has sort of a bumpy beginning. It's just part and parcel of the process.
I've been on shows where they're just setting it up, and they're trying to find the tone of the writing and performance. That's always a really chaotic period on shows.
