It looks like About a Boy will make it to the second season. But they can't do any worse than with an open competition.

If you look at how much of the economy is going to open-sourcing it makes a ton of sense. Look at software and how once huge programs are now many mini-apps. Look at how Youtube and podcasting let bands and individuals bypass the old ways of getting on the air. Good ideas will come from somewhere other than the creative dept.
