What happens if there are creative differences between a reality show's creators and its network?

If, on a reality show production, there are creative differences between the producer and the network, in my opinion the network ultimately wins that battle because it's their money. It can get so heated to the point where the network fires the producer; they often have the right to do that. In general, you shouldn't let that happen as the reality show producer. The network is your customer; the customer is always right. It's the customers money that is paying for your car. So you need to be very, very careful with how you interact with your network. You need to make the network feel like they are being serviced, and that they are getting what they want, because ultimately, they bought it. They want what they want, not what you want. That's what you sold. Television is not really a medium for prima-donna directors. Movie is great for that. If you know that you are right all of the time and you don't want to take anybody else's input, you should be a movie director, because you will probably get away with that attitude.
