The Origins of TV Show Creators
26 May 2010
A friend and I wanted to settle a stupid bet. He said alumni from our alma mater Wesleyan had created more active TV shows than any other academic institution. I argued it was probably USC. Turns out we were both wrong.
Here’s the breakdown for TV program creators (developers where appropriate) by undergraduate education:
Notes:
- Only active non-reality, non-game shows are counted
- Fractions come from shows with multiple creators or creators with multiple places of origin
- Grad schools are not counted (USC ran away with this one)
- Some shows don’t make the cut because info isn’t widely available
And just for grins… by home state, province, or country:
The sample set is pretty small, but some of these shows are clearly influenced by the stereotypes of their creator’s school or home.
