2012-2013 Year in Review: Broadcast TV Trends

Comedy• 28 half-hours on Fall 2012 broadcast TV schedule

- Up from 20 half-hours in Fall 2011- Up from 16 half-hours in Fall 2010

• 17 new comedy pick-ups for 2012-2013 broadcast TV season- 15 cancelled- 2 renewals

2012-2013 Year in Review: Broadcast TV Trends

Comedy: Key Take-Away• Success is more likely when series and strategy are

aligned.- CBS and NBC had no discernible comedy strategy.- ABC set out to produce “broad family comedies” and delivered

on that strategy.- FOX’s strategy was to use The Mindy Project to build out its

profile of “young, connected” viewers on Tuesday.

2012-2013 Year in Review: Broadcast TV Trends

Less Predictable / Safe Renewals & Pick-Ups• Top 20 series Unforgettable initially cancelled by CBS and

replaced with Vegas.

2012-2013 Year in Review: Broadcast TV TrendsLess Predictable / Safe Renewals & Pick-Ups• Top 20 series Unforgettable initially cancelled by CBS and

replaced with Vegas.• ABC, CBS, and The CW ended long-term relationships with

their most successful producers by passing on their new projects.- ABC passed on Marc Cherry- CBS passed on Jerry Bruckheimer - The CW passed on Mark Schwahn

• NBC bucked this trend – kind of – and went further into the Dick Wolf business with Chicago Fire.

2012-2013 Year in Review: Broadcast TV Trends

Less Predictable / Safe Renewals & Pick-Ups: Key Take-Aways• Emotional responses to “strong” pilots can lead to irrational

decision-making."I don't know if it's what went wrong. It was more about what went right with the new pilots. It started very strong in the beginning of the season. They were continuing to produce great episodes. Every show knows that when they get to end of their first season, they are gonna be in competition with new pilots, and that's what happened. We had a very strong, very good crop of pilots coming in. That forces you to make very difficult decisions“ – Nina Tassler on Unforgettable’s initial cancellation.

• Past performance is no guarantee of future results – but it is certainly a good indicator.

2012-2013 Year in Review: Broadcast TV Trends

Move Away from “The Middle” in Drama• Decrease in presence of procedurals and

detective/mystery dramas across the TV landscape.- 11 procedurals in 2012-2013 vs. 24 in prior year.- 14 detective/mysteries in 2012-2013 vs. 23 in prior year.

• Increase in suspense/thriller and period dramas. - 12 suspense/thriller series in 2012-2013, up from 6 in the prior

year.- 11 period dramas in 2012-2013, up from 5 in the prior year.

2012-2013 Year in Review: Broadcast TV Trends

Move Away from “The Middle” in Drama: Key Take-Away• Smart, calculated moves away from “the middle” can pay

off.- The Following on FOX- Hannibal on NBC

• Balance is important.- ABC’s drama slate lacked it.- NBC’s drama slate had it.
