About Front Office Department

be HBO. Shelling


HBO play to be good, depending on where you look, but risky attempt to create fiction, author , and a powerful story is always welcome for the audience loves good television. HBO has always been innovative and Showtime has continued to lag behind in a brilliant, brilliant results the vast majority of the time, and both can afford luxuries and licenses other cable networks can not.

HBO and Showtime are premium, that is, strings by which the viewer must pay extra to have them on screen, like Starz, while other cable stations better known as FX, AMC, TNT , SyFy or ABC Family cable network are base stations displayed on a package when you hire a pay per view.


Among all basic cable stations are just two they are trying to create productions unusual, innovative, mature and come with features that positions the premium cable but without many of the benefits of this. FX and AMC are on the forefront of developing new products copyright, despite its successes, the data are quite adjusted to take into account the benefit of other stations numbers are equal.

FX takes 9 years betting on the fiction itself a solid, and after hits like The Shield or Nip / Tuck is in peak times, especially over the past two seasons. recently spoke of the clear commitment of the station when reinvent genres in fiction, and are the best at it, but the stakes do not always have the approval of the audience, and its infrastructure can not afford to maintain in the air productions with great reviews and recognition with small audiences.


The clearest example we have lived with Damages, drama series hailed by critics and FX you supposed to keep in mind his name at all awards ceremonies circuit television to an audience but abysmally low both in numbers and demographics. The solution was an early termination, but it was not the only, The Riches also surprised the critics but their data did not allow to continue for a third season.

Other betting that if you keep on the grid with data are quite tame Terriers, The League, and It's Always Archer Sunny In Philadelphia. The first has all the ballots to be canceled and a virtually non-existent data more than favorable reviews. The League and Archer are comedies renovated whose general data are poor but have very Justito results in the population. Always Sunny is in a similar case, general data poor but very tight budget and decent in the demographic data, which makes it the best comedy channel but with figures far removed from his big hit, Sons Of Anarchy.


AMC experiencing a similar situation, his series are recognized in the circuit television awards and praised by critics but their data have been meager, but not loud. Mad Men has never gotten good ratings but it is the darling of the industry, like Breaking Bad has maintained a regular data but has made the ultimate accolade to the AMC brand. Rubicon if you had much to exceed half a million during its first season and fulminant chain canceled it, so all is not gold that glitters. The Walking Dead has been a complete success and an even more definitive accolade Breaking the Bad lived but Do The Walking Dead can compare with Mad Men?

course not, the first is a much more commercial, more dynamic and less adult, while the second is slow, reflective and dense.


This highlights the difficulty faced by basic cable networks to innovate, especially in these times when it does not hurt pulse when they do not cancel productions are coming out profitable. SyFy had flashes of quality but with remodeling of the emission model is increasingly betting on a much lighter schedule, but look as has been the cancellation Caprica and immediate withdrawal of the grid which network.

Is it the triumph of The Walking Dead a sign that there is no room for large series of copyright in the basic cable?, "Endorses this theory the abrupt cancellation of Rubicon and Caprica? What is clear is that recognition does not only live, and that the ground rules are changing from cable Thus, at least, accelerated.

Who Wears A Brown Polka Dot Dress

Candy Spelling for the mind.


For 4 decades Spelling the name was synonymous with success, money and recognition, but especially television. Aaron Spelling became the guru of the small screen, producing more than two hundred productions and taking the pulse of three generations of viewers, giving at all times what the industry needed, giving the worker total escape on foot their problems for 43 minutes a week, offering what he called, "Mind Candies".

His career is the epitome of the American Dream, Polish father and Russian mother suffered the ridicule of their peers during childhood and was orphaned very soon, but his passion for reading in 1954 was that he could sell his first script, but it was not that what life would be gained in the first place, and that until he founded his own company at 66, was devoted to play minor roles in television series of the era, as the well-known or I Love Lucy Gunsmoke . In 1968, his first success as an executive producer would screens with The Mod Squad. This production opened the doors of ABC in what would be one of the most prosperous relations industry as we know it today.


In 1974 he founded his own company, Aaron Spelling Productions , and start a solid amount of work with the ABC network on creating blockbusters that will be bound until the late 80's. His relationship with ABC was such that those skilled in the scene were quick to rename it as the Aaron Broadcasting Company, the volume of business that were taking place, and not forget that the critics were never next to the great magnate praises about concerns for decades have rocked Spelling productions calling them "Schlock Art", that comes from Yiddish (language Aaron's mother) and basically means the product of low value, poor quality. However his production revenues during the 70's some of the most notorious success as television landscape: The Rookies (1972-76), SWAT (1975-76), the ultraconocida Starsky & Hutch (1975 -79), Vega $ (1978-81), and its signature series and why it continues to recognize instantly Charlie's Angels (1976-81).


In the 80's signed an exclusive contract with ABC almost complete, producing numerous popular series as The Love Boat (1977-1986), Fantasy Island (1978-1984), Hart To Hart (1979-1984), Hotel (1983-1988 ) or the jewel in the crown Dynasty era (1981-1989) that was a stunning twist to the genre of soap operas.

But in the 89 and the cancellation of Dynasty Spelling seemed that the empire had reached its end, the exclusive contract had ended and it seemed that ABC does not charge more productions to the guru, leaving off the grill after 20 years producing television uninterrupted.


But the arrival of Fox in the early 90's marked the revival of the factory Spelling, with the reinvention of television for the teen genre and bombing which resulted Beverly Hills 90210 (1990-2000) that exalted to Shannen Doherty, Jason Priestley and Luke Perry and made Spelling TV was back on the crest of the wave, co-producing this year's acclaimed Twin Peaks (1990 - 1991). In 1992, after having put on the map to FOX was commissioned from the spin off the chain Melrose Place (1992-1999) would be the vehicle Success for 7 seasons for players of the caliber of Marcia Cross and Heather Locklear.


TheWB 's birth also provided work for the manufacturer as the network would subsequently become his new ABC until 2006, and was premiered in 1996 7th Heaven (1996 - 2007) your favorite series and longest running production, and perhaps more light. But not all were successes, Savannah (1996-1997) and Safe Harbor (1999) in TheWB, Kindred: The Embrace (1996) on FOX or Sunset Beach (1997-1999) on NBC were loud thud, recent of the factory, that if he wins with Charmed (1998-2006) which meant a return to TV of Shannen Doherty and the "discovery" of Alyssa Milano or Summerland (2004-2005) with the first work Zack Efron.

And besides series, Spelling also produced dozens of interesting TV movies, among which Death Sentence (1974) with the first leading role for Nick Nolte, The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976) one of the early work of John Travolta and the miniseries And The Band Played On (1993) laying earned his first Emmy work with HBO.


And today even though his company has been acquired by CBS, his empire is far from pale, because their ideas seem to rejuvenate old series like few others, a screen adaptation of some them as Starsky & Hutch or Charlie's Angels join the remakes of their most popular soaps by CW as 90210 or Melrose Place and remodel project Charlie's Angels to turn back into a regular series.

Aaron Spelling was able to capture, for four decades, popular sentiment in society, productions creating light that provided a total escape from reality for an hour and trained fun series that have kept us glued to the TV year after year. Candy for the mind of the factory Spelling.

How Long Does It Take To Test For Syphilis

Weeds a well-earned redemption.


Spoilers on the sixth season of Weeds.

The dramedy richer and more complex in today's television has just completed its sixth year, and as stated owner of the entry, what makes the best possible way, leaving behind the plot previous years and creating a new universe, the more insane if anything, to which we had seen. The fundamental change is, this time, redefining the character of Nancy, which for the first time we've seen doing an act of personal sacrifice, a selfless act, allowing his family to achieve an escape route.


During the course of the season we Nancy could see how commanding a flight to nowhere trying to get away from Stephen, Shane became a much more amoral than it seemed at first, and Silas was drawn as the true conscience of the family with an uncle andy that still madly in love with his sister and would do literally anything for her.

Weeds ask you to impress us every season, and it does. Nancy The wild fight with one of the hotel cleaners, the rampant sex and graphic with a Mark-Paul Gosselaar reached, taught and ran away, the discovery of the biological father of Shane or punch in the Nancy Esteban car in the season finale get, naive of me at least, surprised as any other series gets, and the ability of Weeds of fun with more black humor and sink into abject poverty in only two scenes is something trying many series, but that is only achieved.

We debated, especially Nahum and I, about the moral values \u200b\u200bthat makes or has made the series along its route, and undoubtedly the last episode of this season is the most heartbreaking thing I remember, keeping the heart into a fist and showing a completely vulnerable Nancy, no options and decided to make the sacrifice in uppercase. And is that the engine remains Series Mary-Louise Parker, great in Red , since none of his fellow actors can overshadow him, his charisma is undeniable.


The next season is expected as Finally, after the cliffhanger that we have come a Jenji Kohan with cameo included, it appears that the redemption of Nancy has not done more than start.

First Anniversary Of Death What To Say

Walk the Line (II) Seven

A year ago, we opened the way to the vagary and a small string to string studio productions commented that they were in a difficult situation, either because of low audience figures, longevity or wear concern the future of the episodes. We are in a prime time of the season, the first sweep, and the ratings that are marked in this period can be definitive, especially for newly released series. How is the picture?

NBC


has many fronts, at least in terms of series, which is what we'll try. Outlaw Undercovers and have already been wiped out and Chase is in a very complicated situation to no greater than 5 million followers, NBC has given full season but it was not surprising that the order was cut.

Chuck, Community and Parenthood are three old acquaintances and find week after week on the tightrope, all have a disastrous ratings around 5 million followers, but they saved their demographic, which will not that inevitably some of them say their final farewell in May.

The Event merely erode viewers and even with full season, if that trend continues, you may not see complete your order. Outsourced is squandering its lead-in and criticism has been anything but favorable, so it is unlikely to renew for a second season.

ABC


After canceling My Generation and The Whole Truth is Better With You which is in the most compromised, the sitcom has been steadily losing viewers during its first five innings, becoming the weakest link in Wednesday's ABC, though surprisingly managed to increase its data for the first time in the last two chapters cast, has orders for the next 22 episodes but its future is uncertain, as the Cougar Town, while maintaining a higher mean it Better With You lose a lot of viewers who are Modern Family.

Another
getting a mediocre book is hovering around 8 million 1-8-7 Detroit, whose season will consist of only 18 episodes. Brothers & Sisters if you have a good core of fans, but the high cost and erosion are beginning to regret for an ABC can not give a new season.

CBS



The Defenders is the biggest oil does, and that their data do nothing down and in its last issue have managed to accumulate only 8.4 million, which will insure a kill more than likely. Which is already virtually canceled is Medium, with an order of 13 episodes. For CBS-solid network these are the only two moderate problems that do not record, but The Good Wife is making terrible demographic data, as well as CSI: NY and Blue Bloods. The most logical thing is that this is the last season the youngest of the CSI, but CBS will need more holes for the releases of next year and the purest sign of weakness or profitability of any series can be lethal.

FOX


The Dollhouse of the season is The Good Guys, which did not reach the three million be beheaded soon as Running Wilde, which marks a dismal data, and this time not because of the mane of Keri, rather viewers and critics.

Fringe Lie To Me and are in a difficult situation, both make very similar data but it seems that Lie To Me has less support than Fringe by the chain. Human Target opens this week and everything looks quite black, see what happens.

CW


UneXpected Life has not received order for more episodes so it's definitely offside and it worked much worse than Melrose Place last year, otherwise the stability within the very poor levels of network, it is clear, Nikita and Hellcats are working well, and are 90210 and, above all, One Tree Hill that have the lowest ratings. Taking into account the profile of CW and Smallville completion next year, CW may cancel only one of its series if the parts of Life UneXpected work, and seniority is One Tree Hill which has all the papers to say goodbye .

This year the different networks have been quick ask for completed orders for most of the series, because there has been excessive bump, but data from many of these "rookies" are not supported to be renewed beyond a first season, and this year more than ever We could not see how any new venture has been a massive hit Modern Family as it was last year.

Why Do My Cats Play Patty Cake?

FX productions that redefined their respective genres.


some time ago TV.com launched an interesting article on this curious subject, and is that for a few seasons, mainly since the start of the wonderful The Shield, FX is becoming a major market benchmark, risking very much with each new production launches. FX is not a premium cable station, as advertising revenue and ratings are their daily bread, and although have not become slaves to the numbers as the decentralized SyFy, leak itself interesting products that provide nominations as Damages, or are genuinely different as Terriers, which is recessed from the zero point.

The premise of giving birth when the FX series is simple, there must be something that is not being seen on television, that is, adopt a basic gender and twist it so it look new, and that television is becoming more and more complicated.
The Shield (2002-2008) that redefines Gender: Police Series.


The greatest success to date of FX shows us the corruption in the police, sometimes in a very cruel, sometimes in human form, demonstrated for 7 seasons that the law is not always the same side for all and it seems incorruptible a priori can be a double edged sword. In 2004 with Rescue Me and 2010 with the aforementioned Terriers turn to shake the foundations of the station's favorite genre.

Nip / Tuck (2003-2010) redefined Genre: Medical Series.



maudlin plots aside, hospice and personal exceedances, Nip / Tuck ambitious presents two plastic surgeons who have no qualms at being sexually involved with patients or skirt the limits of the law when necessary. Its eruption in 2003 shocked friends and strangers, and although their quality declined drastically at the end of their journey was once one of the more risky projects to be issued on basic cable.

On It's Always Sunny Philadelphia. (2005 -?) redefined Gender: Sitcom.


With a pilot they say took $ 200, the sitcom for excellence and most successful of the station has become a hit disproportionate among the target audience for FX, but is that also to be broadcast on cable, has been able to develop taboo topics that are unthinkable in any open network in which only may become implied, Always Sunny goes a step further and reinvents himself as in his day was 30 Rock on NBC how to eat a sitcom.

Damages (2007-2010, 2010 -?) redefined Genre: Drama Legal.


series about lawyers usually take place mostly in the courtroom, but not Damages, one of the best current television series that focuses on the ins and outs with a different seasonal and goings their characters, with fragmented and told a story and casting millimeter would leave with their mouths open to any producer, FX canceled by its low profitability, but DirecTV has saved from burning.

Sons Of Anarchy (2008 -?) redefined Genre: Family Drama .


as it did in 2007 with The Richies, Sons Of Anarchy has the classic form of dysfunctional family dramas, in a Shakespearian tells family problems like no other series had done to date, and it is the current jewel in the crown of his station. Public criticism and had not been made thus never agree.

Archer (2009 -?) redefined Genre: Adult Animation .


One of the most funny and poignant today, Archer has a sense of humor as twisted and dwarfs to gambling allegedly mature Adult Swim, his reception was more subtle but critical reaction more than satisfactory.

Justified (2010 -?) redefined Genre: Western


The last great success of the channel is not set in the nineteenth century but at present, though the rules of behavior have not changed all that much, yes, the ghosts of our society are very much present, although not enough, Justified is a perfect crossroads between traditional values \u200b\u200band cutting edge .

FX now faces a complicated situation, viewers basic cable are not the same as the premium cable, and never have been, risk is more complicated and time of excessive fragmentation, where now, not even the cable, seems immune from cancellations and schedule to dance what we have used the network.
