“I'm not a network executive, but it seems to be a time when networks take more of a gamble with higher-concept shows. And so, it's fun to be on something that's original, that's finding viewership, that's finding a great audience, and really distinguishing itself. Summer's a great place to do that.” ShowsSeemsFunAudienceHigherFindingsSummerConceptsOriginalsExecutivesGamble Author:James Wolk
