I've worked in network and cable on and off for a number of years, and you just understand what your parameters are. A lot of times, I think the best work that my team has come up with comes from having to deal with certain boundaries.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about what the audience would want. That's my job, is to anticipate ahead of the audience.
I think the bar is higher these days in terms of audience expectations of authenticity.
