If I were a Television Producer...


TV these days kind of sucks. Almost every show seems like the same thing. I guess it would be great if you are obsessed with super serious cops, or wise-cracking cops, or troubled cops, or cops in exotic places, or cops with amnesia, or maybe even psychic cops, but if you want to watch literally anything else, it seems you're out of luck. If I were in charge of making a show, I would want to make something like nothing else on TV.
The best shows are the ones that have something nobody else has. The Walking Dead has zombies. SportsCenter has sports. Any new show needs something new and exciting. I would find that new thing and market it like crazy. If their is enough hype built up for it, it doesn't matter how good it is for the first few episodes, the ratings will be there. If their isn't very good quality though, you'll lose everybody after the first episodes. So I'll have to make sure the show is good enough to keep an audience. If I can do that, I'll be gold, and America will have a new, good show.
