What's the generally accepted cutoff for most TV shows moving to video? So far as I understand, most dramatic TV shows were filmed on either 35mm (big budget) or 16mm (smaller budget) up until quite recently. I know for news, live shows, etc it's been video for ages, but I think for something with a big production budget film still ruled until not so long ago.
