Flooding the Poorhouse

The NBA playoffs are here and that means one thing... exciting playoff action? Wrong. It means TBS is going to inundate viewers with commercials for some of the shittiest shows known to man. Not only that but they are going to air them so frequently that not only will people not watch them but instead I will post about how terrible they are and rip them apart before they air. I vow to continue that crusade until every single person I know agrees with me. And if one of my friends dares to actually tune into any of the unfunny original comedies that TBS tries to cram down our gullets they should prepare for death. No joke.



TBS used to be a channel you could depend on for classic comedy movies and re-runs of your favorite shows, but now they have begun to write and create their own comedy shows, terrible. This clusterfuck of an idea actually began last year, what show they pumped I can't recall mainly because it isn't on the air anymore. Oh that's right it was Frank TV, how did that ratings monster turn out? Great premise though, a fat guy who is pretty good at impressions pretends to be people 100 lbs heavier. Fantastic! I hope whoever pushed that show for TBS got burned at the stake.


My eyes hurt from Google image searching Frank TV. Thanks TBS.



I would have loved to be involved with the pitch meeting for this most recent endeavor.

Bill Engvall: Ok, it is a family comedy, think Family Ties + Green Acres - humor = ratings gold

TBS Exec: Fuck it, add a smoking hot daughter and you have got yourself a show.

Bill Engvall: Really?

TBS Exec: Yeah, I mean why not? Every other show we have put on blows and I will probably lose my job before your craptastic venture even airs.

Bill Engvall: Won't a hot daughter take the attention off my snappy writing and timely humor?

TBS Exec: Exactly.


I wouldn't be surprised if that is really how it went, and you know what? I don't care how many hot daughters you pile in there, I'm not tuning in. I'm sure you will kill in the 18-35 toothless redneck demographic though.



Why would you pump so many commercials months in advance? Shit, CSI doesn't even plug as much as you and they actually have viewers. Your only getting Engvall's hopes up just to crush them under the iron fist of horrendous family comedies. I wish you all the best hot daughter, as for the rest of you at TBS, not funny.
