Ok, so settle back and think about how it was in 1995.

Would you have predicted that fake Amish series on the History Channel would suddenly interest people? Would you have predicted fake lumberjacks on the History Channel would interest people? Would you predict that a zombie series on AMC would be one of the top ten shows on TV? Would you predict that a five-year hit series on a meth dealer in New Mexico (of all places) would be considered one of the top shows of all time? Or my all-time question....what idiot could have said a soap opera over some noble house versus another noble house....namely Game of Thrones...would get so much notice and attention?

The big three have have a pothole and they really can’t produce anything of a creative quality anymore. If you ask their production leadership to bring in ten new shows for October....you can bet that one will be stopped within the first three shows...five shows will be gone at the end of twenty-five episodes, and only one will make it to eight years of production.

It’s bad enough that “My Five Wives” exists, and is the soap opera-like story of some Mormon guy and his women.

So, Lucy makes perfect sense. In fact, I’ll make this prediction. Some network will take one season of Lucy and hire six Hollywood actors/actresses to take the same scripts and do their version of the same show, and we will get a 90-minute rendition, with people voting on who did the best Lucy of the evening.
