"There are incredible inefficiencies in Hollywood, with $500m spent by the five networks on around 80 pilots last year. Only eight went to second seasons," said NBC Universal president and CEO Jeff Zucker in his keynote address to NATPE participants last January. "They don't pilot shows in the U.K. and we keep importing their formats. U.S. network executives need to have the courage of their convictions and commission series instead of so many pilots."
