He should have been fired immediately after canceling “Better Off Ted”.

Who knew that ABC even had a programming chief!!!
I thought it was done with darts, a blindfold and pieces of paper on the wall.

That's the smartest thing I've read all day. That show was hilarious!

hmmm my guess is some kind of indictment coming, or something coming unsealed that would embarrass the company.

Maybe! It's interesting when the news business IS the news.

What could embarrass a company that does talk shows with lesbian hosts and has gay day at their children’s park?

Good lord. At least HBO is a pay per view service that doesn't hide behind any false fronts of what it content is.

ABC family would easily be the first channel I would block with children in the house. They actually promote it as a family channel safe for children. Then watch some of its primetime programming like "Secret life of the American teenager". The jr high and high school kids are more sexualized than the whores on Sex and the City.

Don’t insult whores by comparing them to the 4 giant talking vaginas on Sex and the City. Many whores at least have the good sense to get paid for it.
