We all get to laugh
at the big shot network programmers who think they, and they alone know
what the public wants to see. These
execs put on a huge number of programs that fail, and pass on a huge number of
programs that are ultimately successful.
Amazon has a better idea, why not let the people who will actually watch
the shows decide
if they should be produced.
Amazon is letting
viewers help choose its new lineup of TV shows, scuttling a secretive, wasteful
process once reserved for Hollywood
taste-makers.
The online retailing
giant will let visitors from the U.S, U.K.
and Germany
"Why follow the
guru method when you don't have to anymore?" says Roy Price, director of
Amazon Studios. "The audience is out there and the audience is interested.
We might as well make them a partner in the process."
Will TV get any
better? Probably not. As for NBC, which recently finished fifth in
the rating behind even a Spanish speaking network, it could get worse. NBC could finish behind Amazon.
