Cop procedurals USED to do well in syndication. But now the only hour long dramas that regularly place in the top 25 of syndication each week are House, Law & Order, CSI, and NCIS. (And NCIS has dropped from the top 25 for the past month or so). Each of those originally debuted a decade ago, or before. The only…

CBS renewed almost everything this year and only has 3.5 hours open on the schedule for next year, yet they have 24 pilots currently in development, up from last year. And many of those pilots are expensive (Beverly Hills Cop, Hostages, the Robin Williams sitcom, etc.) If they keep going at that rate, they won't have…

It's not that older people don't buy things. It's that older people buy less, and older people have brand loyalty, created after years and years of experience, and it's exceedingly difficult to get them to try new things.

The only thing that keeps them afloat in the press is that they're able to pimp out their general audience numbers, but that doesn't make them a profit. If their ratings trend…

It seems to me that Doctor Who is probably the most intense showrunning gig in British TV in terms of how little time it leaves you to do other things, and considering how Gatiss is a working actor, that could make things difficult. I know a lot of people consider him the frontrunner for Moffat's successor, but I just…

It seems unlikely that Gatiss would take over Doctor Who, as he's the showrunner on Sherlock, which he's commented already takes up an intense amount of his time, even with only three episodes every 18 months. DW is an even more punishing schedule, and would leave almost no time for Gatiss' theatre acting, which he…
