Well, sure, but the key point is that they will have planned the resources based on the budget assigned, and they're not going to cannibalize other shows in production that are paid for from a separate budget, because yeah: as Chaos2Frozen alluded to, that's not exactly good business practice.
Totally agree with you and Chaos2Frozen... and you don't need flashy animation in a romance show. What you need is good direction, camera angles and script.
