So if the system has always been basically impossible to manage then how does one account for the slew of excellent films and shows in the past? It's certainly not been the studios with the original creative vision for the most part. It's been talented writers and directors who have stood up for their vision and found a way to get their film made the way they wanted. Until story, art, originality and expression are priorities above all else for more film fans, writers, directors, producers and studios we're going to continue get what we've been getting.
