closing productive shy step
We're having productive conversations with Twentieth, but we're a step shy of closing a deal.
audience audiences equity pickup remain responds signature success
When we have this much equity in a show, and the audience responds as rabidly as they did this year, it's a big success for us. This is and will remain one of our signature shows. A pickup was a no-brainer.
audience audiences bold came fox fraction incredibly loyal original small
I think it's an incredibly bold and original show. And if only a small fraction of the loyal audience that's on Fox came to Showtime, it would be one of our highest-rated shows.
behind continue continuing decision genius helm running worth
I think the show is only worth continuing if Mitch Hurwitz was at the helm running it. I think he's the genius behind it. And he hasn't yet come to that decision to continue the show.
broadcast cable fit network
I always thought it was a better fit for a cable network than a broadcast network.
became cell culture daily fearless few great instant lives matter pop premium realistic signature sleeper subject terrorism unlike
SLEEPER CELL became an instant signature show for us and has all the hallmarks of great premium cable. It's relevant, fearless and unlike anything else on television. Unfortunately terrorism is a part of our daily lives and this show is one of the few things in our pop culture to grapple with this subject matter in a realistic way.
I have throbbing headaches about a lot of things, and Howard Stern isn't one of them.
continue decision
And he hasn't yet come to that decision to continue the show.
genre
Comedy is king for me; it's the genre that everyone loves.
jobs character one-direction
We had some ups and downs, creatively, as the season went on, which is true of any show. If you compound that by the production that we go through, in terms of original songwriting and recordings, and all that is happening simultaneously, where we didn't do as good a job, as I hope we do this year, is the arcing of the storylines and the consistency of going in one direction with a character, and continuing in a really interesting way with that arc.
character people looks
In every soap, at the end of the season, relationships end and people leave the show. You look at characters and evaluate whether they're great characters or not, and whether they have a future in the show. And we did all of that.
television levels broadway
I'm inordinately proud of Smash, on so many levels. The complexity of producing that show, every week, is just incredible. As a television producer and as a Broadway producer, which I once was, I am in awe of what we can do on that show, every week.
years numbers nbc
It's always bittersweet when you have a show that you own, that's against you. It's against one of our favorite comedies for NBC. And yes, that's part of the business model. House was on the Fox network for a number of years and was such a great business for the NBC-owned studio. That's part of what we're also trying to build. Hopefully, Mindy will help do that for us.
friday community able
I would categorically not rule out that it's not the last season of Community. Does that make sense? I would love nothing more than for Community to have a following on Friday, and to be able to continue it.
