I think the problem is a lack of good writers. The trade must be dominated by oversexed, sadomasochistic queers with a sick sense of humor. The whole industry is overpaid for the crap they produce.
Network TV basically produces 2 types of shows: Sexually suggestive sitcoms & increasingly bloody crime dramas. Both are pure trash, IMO.
No wonder old reruns rate better than new shows.
“The whole industry is overpaid for the crap they produce.”
People are pretty quick to decide others are “overpaid.” I’m a TV writer and I make exactly what someone is willing to pay me in the free market.
Your taxes aren’t paying my salary, so what do you care? If you want in my business, jump in, write something and produce something, and if you think you’re overpaid, give some back.
Plus you missed the point of the article: the reruns AREN’T doing better than ‘Hot in Cleveland’ on TVLand. The new show gets better ratings.
you are correct. I don’t think they can come up with a good solid plot either comedy or mystery without everyone jumping in and out of bed or if they are not doing that they are always referring to sex and...in so many disrespectful ways that are indeed not funny or humorous. But, it’s like they want to brainwash everyone with it. Talent is one thing but trash is another and yes, that’s about it on TV...total trash.
We don’t watch it. We shut it off and read. Watch one or two things but that’s it.
Yes, bring back the good solid stuff ...
