> Another network, FX, seems to be trying the HBO/AMC model in getting quality programming and is going out of their way to appear showrunner friendly. It'll be interesting to see if they can capitalize on some of AMC's missteps in nickel-and-diming their own shows.

Hasn't FX been trying for the quality-original-programming thing for over a decade (at least since "The Shield" in 2002), with limited success?

There's also probably a certain degree of tension between being "showrunner friendly" and being concerned with "quality programming".
