I don’t watch TV dramas. If “entertainment” has scenes that are as bad as a real-life horror like the WDBJ shootings, what does that tell us about the state of television? Westerns and war dramas are in a different time and place. But TV, like video games and films, is now part of the desensitizing of Americans to everyday violence. Don’t blame the guns, blame the sicko “culture.”
They didn’t way it was as bad as, they said it was similar in concept and they felt it would be insensitive to have it air 24 hours after. Nothing really new about that. I remember some “clown gone wrong” made for TV thing they kept postponing in Chicago because every time they were about to show it there was some new development in the John Wayne Gacy case. Actually I’m not sure they ever wound up showing it.
