I don't think we should do that because earlier people were talking about airing shows we have picked up now later in September. Having people wait that long...that's no way to run a wiki if you want it to grow and stay intact.

This is what I think. I think now that we are going to have an abundant amount of shows on the channel, it's time we start thinking about a few things. A) I think, like Nutter said, we need to be more strict on continuing shows. For example, if a certain show is ranked as an average show and season 2 is just about to end, it's gotta go. The competition, it's gonna get fierce. A lot of channels do this, a lot of shows are cancelled after season one and if that happens here, it happens. B) I also think we need to start sorting shows out by genre rather than putting all shows under one umbrella. A mystery show is different from a comedy show, it attracts a different audience. A single-cam comedy has a different feel than a multi-cam comedy. Those are examples. I think we need to start putting shows into categories by their genre/type and we use that to decide on premieres, picking up shows, etc. For example if In Due Time premiered January 10 and then Emma & Johnny premiered January 22 (random dates), I don't think they'd clash because they're two different types of shows. Another example, if In Due Time was ranked an average show but is the only action show we have, it'd probably be okay to continue longer because it's the only mystery show. It was okay to put apples and oranges in the same basket when we only had a few of them but now that we have a lot, I think it's important that we put the fruits into separate baskets and deal with them that way. We'll probably have to get more strict on premiere nights as well and premiere shows based on their genre. I also think, once we open pitches again, we should be more strict on approving shows, based on their genre. Like, we probably should cut down on comedies and only accept comedy pitches if they're really good ideas. Mystery shows however we probably could be open to because we only have one. C) Lastly I just think promotion needs to be amped so everyone's project is noticed. Sorry this was long, I didn't mean for it to be.
