9/20 Alan Sepinwall (Fall TV)

1030 - “before friends you could run any sitcom of people any size or age as long as they were funny and it worked.  then Friends comes along and all of a sudden all sitcoms have to feature young and good looking people.  and that pretty much killed the sitcom right there.”

“TV Executives are so dumb.”  There’s a lot of “this show is so bad i think they’re just testing the boundaries of how bad a show they can put in a prime spot and have it still float.”

FOX has really pushed Glee.  like really pushed glee.

Go start watching Boardwalk Empire.

HBO vs Showtime:  Unfair because of HBO’s money/spending advantage?  that’s null, look at all the terrible Mets teams
