THAT makes sense to me.
w/r/t your later post, the writers strike applies to movies, so the studios would eventually run out of movies -- it just is a more delayed effect than on TV because movies take longer. The studios say they have scripts stockpiled, but that's a little bit BS I think b/c writers seem to remain involved well after shooting begins.
I don't think the studios can get more out of reality, but I think it's not going to go away -- so it's a reliable, significant source of money. And it seems like even though people might prefer to watch good stuff, if there's nothing really good, they'll watch almost anything.
