Some say this can only hurt the shows, and have them actually be taken off the air sooner, while others explains this is only a reaction to the networks' behaviors. What is your opinion on this subject ? Do you invest in new (serialized) show as soon as they start ? - One of the best thing when watching a show is to be surprised. Many writers try hard to surprise their audience, yet there are more and more spoilers out there every day. Sometime even released by networks themselves (Lost, TCA press tour), making it even harder not to know about them. How do you feel about this ? Are you for having the highest "secrecy" possible regarding your show, or controlling whatever comes out ? If so, do you sometimes releasing false info on purpose ? - More and more people watch TV online, using TiVo, etc. Yet networks still rely on those old Nielsens ratings to decide whether or not a show is watched, or should be taken off the air as fast as possible (sadly). Do you fear that, despite being watched a lot and generating a many fan reactions over the Internet, your show could be in danger due to low (irrelevant) ratings ? - Do you fear that you couldn't write the show the way you intend to because of external factors (actors avaibility, network decisions, etc) ? - Again last year, episodes of different shows (Criminal Minds, Bones) were taken off the air for being "too close" to real-life drama. Don't you think it is "stupid" to take a show that is about serial killers off the air for such "reason", especially while in the mean time a show about Katrina is in the making... ? - When your show will come to its series finale, if it was "known" that most fans weren't happy with how things turned out on your show (fans reactions to previous episodes, spoilers, etc), would you change your plan for the finale to please them, or trust your (original) ideas ? - Except yours, what is the current TV show you think is the best and you would recommand everyone to watch, and why? - The way it is today, less and less people every day are willing to “invest” in new shows, especially serialized ones, before the first season ended (and a second one got ordered), to avoid the pain of seeing the network took yet another good show off the air after only a few episodes.
