It seems like corporate people make all the decisions in television these days, that creative people – like writers – are at the mercy of the suits. “Some in Hollywood’s creative community are nevertheless trying to break this stranglehold – the one that says Disney, as just one example, will own, shape and control pretty much everything broadcast on ABC. They are taking chances many view as liberating after toiling on the focus-group driven, overly massaged ‘product’ networks are most comfortable serving up. These efforts vary wildly in size and scope and venture capital.” – Los Angeles Times
