Departing Fox Boss Kevin Reilly Urges “Don’t Go Back To Pilot Season” In Memo

I remember coming up in the business and seeing how the grind turned some executives into grizzled cynics. And I vowed to never become that guy. I have always believed it’s incumbent upon network brass to bring a wide-eyed optimism to the chairs they rent. Talent deserves that. And frankly, the jobs are just no fun otherwise. Staying fresh and looking forward is part of why I feel the timing is right for me to turn the page now.

So I guess his point is don't throw s**t at the wall and see what sticks....?

It's a shame he's being forced out because I really think he was the least of the network's problems, and he's definitely right about pilot season being a broken, antiquated system. I really hope the next guy or girl isn't just a Yes-man/woman for the higher-ups.
