[QUOTE="Gabriel Maxwell, post: 6857, member: 121"] No, because the shows already on air typically - get picked for a new season at any point until mid May when the fall schedules are announced (the worse the show is doing in the ratings, the longer it takes the network to make that decision) and then - the writers have less than 2 months to come up with the first scripts for the new season and then - the filming begins in July about 2 months before - those first episodes begin airing in late September. Even if a show is a big hit and gets picked up for a new season early (for example, in January or February), the writing for the new season won't start until May/June like all the other shows that get picked up at the last moment. "Development" only refers to new shows. It begins in the fall (one year before they air) when the pilots are being ordered, then after the holidays they start casting and the filming usually takes place in March. By April they are reviewed by the network, which then decides which pilots they want to pick up to new series. So, if Iger took over in late March, it was too late for him to influence the new show development for the following season, because by this point the pilots are already being finished. He could only make his initial mark in terms of selection of the new series from the pilots developed by the previous management. [/QUOTE]
