I never appreciated the difference between network and cable TV, and that the whole point of a TV network is to sell advertising. This might already be obvious to most people, but it wasn't to me because I never actually wondered why TV shows are created in the first place. It's to make content that grabs the eyeballs of a certain demographic for the sake of selling stuff to the owners of those eyeballs.
HBO and premium networks are actually creating content for the sake of quality, not to sell products. Either way, it's just rich people paying talented people to do stuff that will result in profit. Even if it doesn't make a profit, all the people involved get recognized for being in "show business." I guess that's a blessing and a curse, but it's interesting that all it takes to create famous people and critically acclaimed "art" is a big enough bag of money.
It takes the glamour out of show business to know that anyone with enough money can start a production company and that is the only thing stopping great art from happening. It takes a businessman first to allow artists to create art. Simply creating art doesn't lend itself to a career. There has to be some rich guy out there who greenlights it. So if you aren't talented enough to be an actor, just become a rich guy. You'll get way more gratification out of that.
