Happy Monday! 

We've been hearing a lot lately about Facebook's ambitions to produce scripted TV shows. The newest revelation comes via a Wall Street Journal story that said the social media giant has been
meeting with major talent agencies like UTA and William Morris, and has indicated that it would commit to budgets as high as $3 million an episode

It's all part of Facebook's bid to further beef up its video efforts and
go after some of that sweet, sweet TV ad revenue. To be honest, I'm still trying to wrap my head around why Zuck and the gang want to finally get into the content-creation game after 13 years of building the world's largest social network on the backs of other people's content.

The reality is, TV is hard and expensive, and it typically involves far more misses than hits. Even Netflix is figuring that out. (Sorry,
Girlboss.) But what's especially interesting in Facebook's case is that the company reportedly wants to shy away from anything too controversial. According to the WSJ, that means no political dramas, no news, and nothing with nudity or course language. 

Seriously, what's left? I can't really see test patterns making a comeback.
