Are networks making too many shows?)
After the panel, the executive was asked to elaborate on his mediocre charge.

So I think if youre keeping the shows great and people are loving them, why make less?
It seems like an arbitrary notion that there should only be X-number of shows on TV.
There is too much competition, Landgraf said.
It is hard to find good shows … and I believe its impossible to maintain quality control.
But Sarandos dismisses that notion.
Which is where theres three hours of prime-time, there are four broadcast networks and X-number of cable channels.
Thats not true anymore.
The viewer has total control of when they watch shows.
In that world, the possibilities are almost infinite in the way people can passionately connect.
Netflix also announcedpremiere dates for nine shows, as well as made some renewals.
But theres no renewal yet for summer breakoutStranger Things(were letting the show breathe, Sarandos said).
