I've been very frustrated in the last few years by the way networks have (not) supported their shows. Was FOX surprised that <em>Arrested Development</em> didn't draw a regular audience, after pre-empting it every time a baseball game came along? <em>Veronica</em> suffered this year, in my opinion, when creators tried to accommodate the network by splitting the season into two or three ongoing mysteries. I'd love to see networks back off a little and leave creativity in the hands of the creatives. Launching a show requires giving it a regular time slot, keeping it there without obnoxiously long hiatus, putting some advertising behind it, and then being patient. We've seen too many shows get pulled before they had a chance to find legs. NBC has reversed that trend, and now they have shows like <em>The Office</em> and <em>30 Rock</em> to show for it. <em> </em><div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('187','screenwriterguy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('187','screenwriterguy','Good point, Tammynize.\n\nI\'ve been very frustrated in the last few years by the way networks have (not) supported their shows.
