Last year was horrific. We don't have the rocket fuel right now to lift us to the next level, but things are genuinely happening, and some of these shows are definitely moving in the right direction.
Katie O'Connell was a top draft pick when she joined NBC last year and she's done a terrific job turning the lights on in our New York development office.
We came out of last year believing in our charismatic lead and seeing real evidence that an audience was sticking with the show. We think with some creative adjustments, stability is going to pay off in this time period.
We're developing 365 days a year now. So we're picking up fewer pilots than expected because we will keep developing for spring and summer 2007 throughout the year.
This year will kick off with Joey finally making it in Hollywood. The same character now has lots of people looking at him, the spotlight on him. He's now not the worst client of Jennifer Coolidge. He's the best.
