The reward for creating a TV show

Fantastic quote from Earl Pomerantz on the difference between writing for TV and film:

Television isn’t like movies. When you write a great movie script, you take your money and you move on to other projects. In television, the reward for success is you stay there, cranking out multiple versions of the same idea. And your time frame for doing so shrinks from months to days.
