It bewilders me that anyone could believe that “the moguls are determined to write off not just the rest of this TV season (including the Back 9 of scripted series), but also pilot season and the 2008/2009 schedule as well” is anything other than a falsehood spit out by the studios in an attempt to scare and intimidate people. I’d defy anyone to demonstrate how writing off pilot season and the entirety of next season pencils out for the studios in any way that their shareholders would be willing to stomach.
