What is the size of the writing staff on a TV drama?

The size of a writing staff varies in TV dramas. Usually, there are one or two executive producers, who are at the top of running a show. How much they staff up has partly to do with how much they are going to write themselves and the complexity of the show. When you talk about producers on television, you really are just talking about the writing staff, because that's what producers are. So even though you may have one or two executive producers, you might have three, four, five or more producers who are actually just writers on the staff.
