~400 scripted series (comedy, drams) currently running... it's a bubble

There hasn't been a more competitive, cut-throat, quality-saturated era in television ever. Period. John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions, for years has been the brightest and most thoughtful commentator on the state of the industry. He was here Friday expanding on the data that his research unveiled a year ago now that rocked everybody's world and explained, with an exclamation point, the frustratingly impossible task of TV critics back then. The numbers were stark: there were more than 1,700 series on television, from the broadcast networks to cable to streaming services — in primetime (8 to 11 p.m.) alone, which is almost unfathomable. No day parts. No late night shows. No news. No sports. Just series in primetime. Of those, 352 were scripted (comedies, dramas). About six months later that number rose to 371. And on Friday, Landgraf said this:

"By our best current estimates, we believe 2015 will easily blow through the 400 series mark."
