Passage Summary: Movies make money by selling as many tickets as possible, but television executives don't necessarily care about getting the maximum number of viewers for their programs.

Reasoning: N/A

Analysis: The paradox here is the discrepancy between the business models of film and television. While movies have a direct 'pay-per-viewer' revenue stream, the stimulus implies television operates differently. To resolve this, we need information explaining why a TV executive might value something other than raw audience size—perhaps specific demographics or advertising rates. It is a curious world where a TV executive might actually be disappointed if 'too many' of the wrong people are watching their show.
