Saying that, why do I get this feeling that within the next 5 years, network TV is going to be all reality and game shows, all of the time. Scripted shows will go the way of prime-time news magazines.

This is another propaganda piece by the studios against the WGA, trying to make the public think of the writers as overpaid whiners and the broadcasters and studios look like underdogs trying to get by. Ever since they announced they were canceling their contracts for pilots, the studios and broadcasters have been making announcement after announcement about how much money the pilots cost. Where's the announcement about how much money they made from the ones that got on the air? I promise you, when this strike is over, they'll go back to making a high number of pilots Look at the wording in this article, but here and the NYtimes.

So that leaves room for, say, two new shows a year? Let me guess: one will be a game show, the other a reality show? I understand the model is outdated, however my optimism that this will produce anything other than crap, lowest common denominator shows isn't very high. Great.
