To extend this subject a little bit more, what happens when the financial reward changes (either increases or decreases)? That's the subject of this Harvard Business School paper: http://tinyurl.com/d9gng5 It basically found that increasing the reward made only a temporary increase in productivity, but that over the long term, the amount of production returns to past normals. Although getting into that level of detail for a TV show may, as Mark points out, start to get a little too academic for the average TV viewer. I guess it all depends on how creative you can be in presenting the information in a fun, exciting, and potentially (unfortunately) dumbed down fashion. Preet, that is an interesting study.

I find experiments such as this to be fascinating. What I don't know is whether the general population will. How wonderful if you were able to offer a 'social reward' for watching the show. Good luck. Mark The idea is intriguing, but keep in mind this is TV and EACH show must, on its own, hold the interest of a general TV audience.
