There is a reason why I left in the part before Mike Arrington's outburst.
Chris Messina quietly talks about define your success - and Mike ask
something like what other measure of success is there besides how much
money it makes?

The panel discussion was on the subject of measuring success (there's an almost
inaudible quote from one of the panel members about success meaning that people
like your stuff
Elsewhere Arrington describes 'the Office' as the only BBC show worth
watching, what about Dads Army and Porridge, Only Fools and Horses, Fawlty
Towers? Admittedly mostly from the seventies and eighties. He raises
perhaps inadvertantly the old point about why we haven't done many good

Yes - you could charactarise the US way of working as a way of
maximising ad revenue from a the diminishing halo of a brand, regardless
of whether creatively the project is still vigorous. Or, in plainer
language, flogging a dead horse.
Not to say there aren't long runs of UK stuff. My Family,
And it does stop the BBC getting into Oh God Series 19 of Friends syndrome
Actually I think there have been some very good sitcoms in recent
years - Early Doors, Royale Family and off BBC Spaced and Black
Books - but I think this is one of those areas where things are not
held as a 'classic'

I was in the room when Mike Arrington said it. Through out the conference he
has been really arrogant.
I'm disappointed that someone so well recognised in the Web industry has
nothing good to say about BBC. He is not really popular in the UK after TCUK
and now he has made it worst for himself !
In any case - was this really in the BBC's control - wasn't
it Ricky Gervais who didn't want to do another series ?
It was indeed.
It was also the creator of Arrested Development's decision to stop after
series 3 - I just suddenly realised that that might be a rather obscure
reference!
