This is exactly the same in TV writing and screenwriting. You sometimes hear it discussed as "Crap +1." Don't take it as a point of pride when you're better than some of the worst writing produced. Work until you can stand with the best.

An editor once told me that a lot of fans read the worst books in the line and think, “I can do that!”
And the editor’s response is, “I have a Rolodex full of people who can do that. It’s the people who can compete with the best books in the line that I need. Them, I don’t have nearly enough of.”
