| @chriskotx- Actually, Minnow said as much. In his 'vaste wasteland' speech he asked people sit in front of the television for an entire day and told them that they would see, "a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly commercials — many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it." So yes, he specifically meant sit-coms (along with just about everything else). |
