Oh I think it's at least in the back of all writers' minds, personally. If your baby gets commissioned and aired that means it's in the mix for all the top gongs and usually only has a dozen or so shows as competition in its category. Even nominations can make a career. I'll stick with my assessment of writers, no offence.
Your favourite - Yes I can imagine some really liking it, but I do see it as another 'marmite' sitcom.
