      I remember when I was into House (sigh) Hugh Laurie went on this rant about how a career as a film actor and as a UK TV actor did not prepare him *at all* for US TV Said it was the most grueling schedule he'd ever experienced

      He went off about how all the shit people talk about low-quality American TV wasn't because the typical American actor or director or writer is any less talented -- in fact, he argues they probably have to be more competent on a baseline level just to survive the industry

      But they have to churn out SO MUCH CONTENT that it's just impossible to keep the quality level up A standard hour-long drama like Law and Order has a typical order of, like, 20 episodes per season? TWENTY HOURS of finished footage? (Cut it down to 18 for commercial breaks)

      You're asking the lead actors in that production to make *five or six feature films*, back-to-back, for WAY less money than movie actors get paid to actually make five or six feature films over a much longer period of time So of course they "sag" and have "filler"

      He said he had a newfound respect for what US actors go through -- and the poor bastards making daytime soaps have it even worse While also saying that, however much this model makes money and gave Americans the "comfort food" TV they craved, it's unsustainable

      I think it's kind of telling that a show like the Librarians, which is a fun goofy adventure series, had been made ten years earlier, it would have had 20 episodes a season with *way more duds*. 10 episodes a season forced the writers to really consider which episodes to use.

      The one season with 12 episodes has two absolutely awful episodes in it. The shows that managed to keep the quality relatively consistent for years of 20+ episode seasons are shockingly rare when you really look at them.

      Yeah I mean Hugh Laurie, an actor, was talking in terms of how grueling it was to actually make all these episodes But from the writer's perspective yeah it's so hard to even think of 20 filmable ideas for an episode every year that don't actually suck

      I saw a rant on here a long time ago from someone in the games industry saying the hardest thing to explain as a veteran to a newbie was how beginners think the hard part of creativity is adding stuff The fans always ask "How do you get all those wacky ideas?"

      But adding is actually REALLY EASY I mean maybe not for those fans who've never seriously tried to write a story down in their lives But people for whom storytelling is their calling can just sit around coming up with ideas all fucking day, it takes no effort at all

      The actual work is SUBTRACTING Creativity is the process of going "Now which of these is actually possible to do in a way that you can follow through with all the way to the end that doesn't suck" Like how sculpting a statue is only a matter of "removing the excess marble"

          I sometimes brood about how The Simpsons is still on the air even though, like, mathematically, they have fully explored the entire idea space of all good Simpsons episodes it is theoretically possible to make They must have crossed this line somewhere in like 2011 at the latest

          Ever since then they're just recombining bits and pieces of previous Simpsons episodes in ways that do not make sense and add no value Like an AI that finishes drawing every possible human face and starts doing stuff like giving people one eye and two noses
