9月16日,第59届艾美奖在洛杉矶著名的梦幻剧场举行颁奖典礼。各路热门美剧纷纷登场,HBO落幕大戏《黑道家族》和ABC广受好评的喜剧《丑女贝蒂》都是赢家。而此前被看好的新剧《英雄》被剃了光头,中国观众痴迷的《越狱》也无一斩获,令国内舆论颇为惊讶。对美剧来说,收视率就是一切,它制播分离制度就是为了更好的迎合观众口味。采用每周播出一集这种投石问路的原则来进行制作,而且往往是先拍一集出来进行试播。在创作初期,通常由制片人在众多的故事中选出他们认为有市场潜力的素材,拍摄出几集之后,都要让不同年龄层的观众志愿者组成一个评审团看片。如果能获得观众好评,决定投拍后,接下来才是剧本创作。另外,美剧的季播制度,也给了电视台以充分的评估权。一般而言,美剧的播出季是在每年9月中旬到次年4月下旬,每周一集。在播出季的间歇期,电视台决定是否继续下一季,以及下一季内容走向。而边拍边播的形式,也让制作团队能及时通过收视的反馈情况来调整剧情的设置和人物的命运。因此,美剧崇尚收视率至上的法则,也让美剧的市场竞争显得异常残酷。今天,美国电视剧正以越来越考究的艺术品位,越来越复杂的故事情节,进入了黄金时代。从上世纪三十年代的肥皂剧,到如今热播的剧情剧,美国电视剧的变迁体现了观众口味的变化,也同样反映了美国电视剧产业的探索和创新。
