rant, cont'd

I don't know why I'm so worked up about this. Maybe it's the fact that that was the first time I've felt truly insulted and offended by a stupid television show. But it looks like I'm not the only one. The Onion's resident hater piled on the other day, and now it looks like the show is about to be axed.

Sorkin and friends will argue that NBC has done something wrong, or that the audience isn’t smart enough. Alas, in this case, neither is true. 'Studio 60' ... is just a bad show. There’s nothing wrong with the acting, directing, or dialogue writing. But the premise is faulty. No one cares whether a bunch of over caffeinated, well off yuppies, some with expensive drug habits, put on a weekly comedy sketch show from Los Angeles.

That's one theory among many. It is true, thought, that the producers think the audience isn't smart enough. Well, since it seems that everyone is watching CSI: Miami instead, that may actually be true.
