“I thought the playboy club went the way of “highballs”.”

It is so out of date. It would be as if you were going to back to visit the not-quite-strip-clubs of your grandfathers youth.

Double face-palm.

What is wrong with either blocking the channel, or changing it?

How can an industry that survives on public consumption so consistently and grossly misread the consuming public?

The perverts project their own tastes onto the larger public, and then they're Shocked! when it's revealed that the public really wants to watch "Mythbusters" or "Hawaii 5-0" reruns.

In spite of financial losses, they will keep doing it, because psychologically they need to believe they aren't a miniscule minority of crazies in a sea of normal folks.

Playboy owns 2 hardcore porn channels, this show was just to go after the youth.

Playboy is all about the swinger lifestyle, they have their own 2 hard core porn channels.

>>> Amber Heard is gay?

No, but her girlfriend is.

>>> What a waste!

Amber's partner might dispute that anything is being wasted. Nope, nothing at all. Nada.

For myself I found the ersatz Don Draper beyond annoying. They didn't even try to be subtle about it. The thing is Mad Men is written about people. That's what I thought we were going to get with Playboy Club and instead we get a really implausible murder mystery. NBC had a show with some good potential and totally dropped the ball, as NBC usually does.

she actually said she was bisexual, if I remember correctly.

If she were in college, she would be what we call a LUG - Lesbian Until Graduation

IOW the homosexual agenda killed the playboy club. This will also kill DVD sales.

"main characters...gay"

Didn't see any of the show, but if they made the series to push a liberal agenda, that was their first huge mistake. Maybe the show would have flopped anyway (scripts and good stories do matter), but the first time I detect a political agenda (and it's always liberal to be sure) in any show, I stop watching.

I’m inclined to agree. The people entrusted with these networks’ financial stability should be crucified at the next shareholder meeting. In pursuit of this vapid agenda, they are courting financial ruin. And they should be held accountable. Anyone can make a mistake, but a consistent pattern of errors this egregious demands a change in leadership.

homosexuals were trying to write a story for heterosexual men to be viewed by overweight women who watch oprah and believe the delusion that robert redford wants them.

I think longtermmemmory summarized the concept excellently. I suppose shareholders or board of directors would have to take a stand to reduce the production of garbage shows that flop.
