Still Bill Carter which means picture perfect reporting and a narrative you can't put down. Problem here are there are too many characters and no clear beginning or ending to the story so its structure is a bit of a shapeless mess and ends like the cord being yanked out of the outlet. It's not as good as his two books about late night TV but still the work of one of the best minds writing about television today. ( ) The world of TV is cutthroat no matter how you look at it. Desperate Networks by Bill Carter explores the industry at a time when it's being upended by the ceaseless internet revolution. It's more than cutthroat, it's a disruptive madness. And only the strong and lucky will survive. This is a satisfying book if you're looking for a business insider's take on the world of prime time TV. And while I discovered it nearly 10 years after the topic season in question, 2004-05, I still found it relevant. I'm reminded of the quote from screenwriter William Goldman for any time the pundits try to predict the next big hit: "Nobody knows anything." Have you ever wondered how some shows ever made it to the air? Desperate Networks is an inside look at the brilliant/boneheaded choices top executives at the big 4 networks made in the past few years. Most surprising to me was that Lost was not entirely a JJ Abbrams creation, but rather started as idea an executive had on vacation and couldn't let go of. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
In the executive offices of the four major networks, sweeping changes are taking place and billions of dollars are at stake. Now journalist Carter goes behind the scenes, capturing portraits of the moguls and stars who make it such a cutthroat business. The networks struggle for the attention of American viewers increasingly distracted by cable, video games, and the Internet. The fierce competition creates a pressure-cooker environment where anything can happen, and hit shows often get on the air purely by accident. Once the king of prime time, NBC plunged from first to last place in a single season. CBS, under the leadership of CEO Leslie Moonves, engineered one of the most spectacular turnarounds in television history. Lost and Desperate Housewives have brought ABC the kind of success it had only dreamed of--so why don't the executives responsible for those hits work there any more? Meanwhile, more and more people are watching outrageous, unconventional Fox.--From publisher description. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
