Apple's Upcoming Morning Show Drama Gets New Showrunner

Does every show on have to drop the f-bomb 50 times per episode, have at least 2 nearly X-rated sex scenes including at least one same sex, and the stars getting high on camera?

Would people subscribe to Apple Music if it is only the clean radio edits of songs? No, so why the hell is Apple meddling with shows so much when they go after all these creators on letting them create what they want to create.

Ugh. Why do I see Apple having a lot of creative differences in the next few years. G rated junk will be the result.

I don't think I mentioned any of those things. Story is what matters. No sex, language, or drugs in 2001: A Space Odyssey, but would Apple allow that? I'm guessing no. I really think they want humdrum kid stuff, with no story that you'll remember two days later. But...provided stock and/or dividend goes up, I'm ok with anything they create.

That sounds beyond awful and completely unwatchable.

I will always see them as sisters from Friends...

Interesting how people blame Apple for the "creative differences", which is nothing more than an industry catch-all for various conflicts that can arise.

Based on history (and there's a LOT of history of this type of thing happening in the entertainment industry) it's more likely that Aniston/Witherspoon were unhappy with the direction things were going. It's often the big-name stars who have more say over where a project goes, and causes a "junior" member to leave the project. And make no mistake, Aniston/Witherspoon are the "seniors" on this project.

But hey, keep blaming Apple if it makes you feel better.

Apple has always been family friendly ... stop hating just to be hating

I wonder if the parting was related to Apples 'family friendly' restrictions.

Apple does edit their own DJs on Beats One because they create and control that content. Since they are putting up the money to create this streaming video content, they also want to control that to some degree. It's understandable.

I think people are knee jerk blaming Apple here but it's based on past stories arising from Apple's control over content creation. Some content creators (app developers and TV writers) have accused Apple of trying to make everything family friendly. This could just be isolated misunderstandings or could be a deeper plan by Apple to forsake creative freedom for guaranteed revenue.

I don't think it will matter much in the end. Apple is obviously trying to appeal to broad audiences through many genres and some of those genres are really aimed at adults. So they hobble their own effort directly. The problem with these stories is that possible content creators who are being pursued by Netflix or Amazon might not consider working with Apple for fear that Apple will enact their own rating board mentality. No real creator counts seconds of nudity or gallons of blood or number of curses but that's all that ratings boards and TV standards and practices do. The golden age of TV has only come about because creators are able to bypass the TV networks who employ content with traditional family values (whatever that means). So viewers of Apple streaming TV will judge shows based on their individual merits but creators and studios will judge Apple streaming TV based on their ability to tell a story the way they want and overall audience potential (as well as payment).
