NB Must Not C TV

I read this today on the IMDB:
...NBC recorded its lowest ratings during a regular season in its history, trade reports indicated today (Monday). Dreadful numbers for comedy shows My Name Is Earl, The Office, 30 Rock, and Scrubs...
Bad news for fans of these shows. It makes me wonder what kind of knee-jerk reaction we're in store for by the studio execs at NBC. Hopefully, they realize that this line up of shows is their funniest in a long time (possibly since the delightful comedy hit, Joey) and will let the "numbers" pan out. I wholeheartedly recommend all four of these shows and have been especially enjoying the hilarity of 30 Rock this season. Check it out on Thursday nights at 8:00 CDT.

Full story here.

In case any of you were wondering, the Joey comment is dripping with sarcasm........

What's sarcasm? :) I don't know what you're talking about. I loved that show. Joey was quite possibly the best half-hour of comedy ever to be aired anywhere on the globe.

Just think, the radio waves carrying great shows like Joey, American Idol and When Animals Attack 10 are flying out in space right now at the speed of light. Why, they could end up being the first contact an alien life form has with the human race! What a great representation of our species that will provide! Fantastic!
