A well run production requires at most two >> producers, one to oversee the creative aspects and another to oversee the >> organizational/financial aspects... sometimes one person can handle both >> sides of the production, but two are really what is required. But now >> actors get producer credits, as do their managers and lawyers, as do the >> relatives of the head of studio, as do the catering crew.

You and I both know that Spielberg neither >> knows nor cares what’s going on at a crummy little CBS procedural, but now >> he’s getting dragged into it. And don’t misunderstand me, Dushku has every >> right to drag him into it as his name is right there in bold text, but his >> name is only there because CBS knows his name in the credits gives viewers >> a false sense of value. >> > > bermuda999, Friday (12/21):
