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.
