I don't understand these people who play a video of Eric Idle talking 'bout studio executives and dislike it. I mean: what the hell they expected? Why did 10 people watch it in the first place if they were not interested in the subject, or at least interested in watch Eric talking. I've got to agree with @WatchVenusSpa That should explain.

The only exception I know to this is Louis C.K's new show 'Louie,' and it's a great show.

.....AND?

@sludgiebear what i do is, i use the internet to find British TV shows, then i watch those, then listen to music mentioned by them, and it works out nicely

i love this guy : )

@PFWoody488 That is if you can find anything good amongst the mass of crap uploaded on the internet. :)

@El135o Then they did her a favor, which I guess goes without saying. If a music company can't understand the use of a musical instrument in a song, they need to find something else to produce.

Maybe I'll try to make a show similar to ye'old python when I'll graduate from the theatre-academy; People should dare to make wathever they like and dare to be original and mix up things wheter they're relevant or not.
Humor is turning into trash -TV. And I will never let that happen.

Not just Eric Idle say this, but also many other great comedy writers, like David Croft, argue that in the past, the lack of executives allowed great sitcoms to be made, whilst now they can't do anything.

Movies and TV today are more concerned with product placement, focus groups, and toy marketing than they are with writing, acting, and well executed plot.
The execs have changed originality from a virtue to a vice.
Taking chances runs counter to CYA corporate culture and so it is actively discouraged.
That is why Hollywood and network TV both suck ass.
The internet rewards originality. Thus it may be a much bigger threat than they realize.

I read about record company executives telling a current songwriter, "you can't use the line, 'the car parked down by the lake' because it won't sell." Ditto for Sophie B. Hawkins. She was let go from her recording contract because she wanted to use a banjo in one of her songs. The execs said, "it will reduce sales," so she insxisted, and they simply fired her.
The modern salaryman in charge of art is a CROCK OF SHIT.
