In case you were wondering what Otter was talking about a little earlier today:
Some people have had it with TV. They’ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don’t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They’re tired of $100-plus monthly bills.
There is a God! And she’s coming back to AMC! Woo!
I’m talking media CEOs here, nine of them male, all of them smart enough to create a system whereby they get paid mountains of moolah for doing nothing our 11 year old little sister couldn’t do.
Yeah, I said “create.” They’re constantly redefining their jobs and what doing those jobs is worth, and their boards of directors, all of whom are looking forward to media CEO gigs of their own, go along with them unquestioningly.
Remember the good old days when THE OFFICE was a bright star shined brightly through the darkness that then seemed to envelope just about the whole sitcom genre? The show was so bright in comparison to most others, in fact, that NBC kept giving us 1-hour episode after 1-hour episode to guide our way to its stations.
Well, today’s executive powers-that-be have decided to outdo the powers-that-were and give us a 75 minute finale for the old girl. And who knows, maybe it’ll shine too.
