Fran and Peithon, thanks for correcting my error about Gotham. I had totally forgotten about The Advocates. Hmmmmm--sounds like grounds for some kind of simmering animosities after all. |

Thanks Peithon for the info about The Advocates. I'd never have thought CBS would have to pay penalties for not picking up a pilot, I guess there was some sort of contract which they breached. It does sound like that might have created some ill-feeling.
I was also interested that you say CBS are trying to get a share of the back-end for bought-in shows. I can understand them wanting to do that, but I would have thought they would only succeed in getting that sort of deal for shows which other networks aren't interested in. If that means all the good shows go elsewhere, it doesn't seem like a good strategy, but maybe it will end up with all the networks needing to get a share of the back-end in order to be profitable. |
