broadcast cable fit network
I always thought it was a better fit for a cable network than a broadcast network.
closing productive shy step
We're having productive conversations with Twentieth, but we're a step shy of closing a deal.
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.
equivalent front rating
I think it would be the equivalent of an X rating if it were going in front of the MPAA.
butcher cut decided equivalent figure rather work
I think it would be the equivalent of an X rating. And rather than try to figure out how to cut it and make it work for us, we decided it's probably better not to butcher Takashi's vision.
biggest business concert music thrilled usher
Usher is, without question, the biggest thing in the music business right now, and we're thrilled he wanted to do his live concert with us.
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.
genre
Comedy is king for me; it's the genre that everyone loves.
continue decision
And he hasn't yet come to that decision to continue the show.
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.
