'Scrubs' Resuscitation Likely on ABC
"Scrubs" returned to production to finish a pre-writers strike episode
for NBC as well as to make a handful of new episodes likely to be
picked up by ABC, the Hollywood Reporter says, citing people it didn't
identify. ABC will probably order the medical comedy's eighth season
once the actors' contracts are finalized, the newspaper says. Both
networks declined to comment, the Reporter says.
--- This makes absolutely no sense at all. NBC's bottom-rated show,
next to Friday Night Lights, is being covetously treated like some
kind of a highly sought-after Top 10 hit by ABC
There's a hole in your logic.
(and yes, in honor of these being the holidays, I'm suggesting that
you're actually using logic)
--- Aside from whatever tiresome, meaningless claim you keep making
about 18-49 as being relevant
Me, advertisers, trade publications, the networks themselves... Should
I just accept that you have issues with accepting reality and stop
trying?
--- I keep telling you, it's a reality based on an illusion. Like I
also told you before, if you haven't been motivated into buying a
product once a week, or at least once a month, by some ad you saw on
TV, then who has? Which only makes you and everybody else a demo
failure, regardless of demo. We're living in a Walmart universe now,
that's where all the real sales are made.
[oh, by the way, I heard on CNN that 30%
of 18-39ers (39ers, not 49ers, so that makes the demo even younger)
are financially dependent on their parents these days, meaning that
18-49 numbers are worth about 1/3 less in value],
So who has more money to spend on frivolous things? Young adults who
live with their parents or borrow rent/mortgage money or older adults
who either have an extra person living with them or pay both their own
rent/mortgage and their kids'?
--- Right now, Mr. Unconscious of What's Really Happening in the World
Today, nobody's got money to spend on anything. There's a recession
going on, money is being diverted into things that are actually needed
to survive on a daily basis, not on frivolous items. That extra buck
per gallon spent on gas now by your typical suburban family robs the
rest of the economy of about $30 each and every week, multiply that by
about 30 million suburban families and you get $900 million spent less
now PER WEEK on other goods, services and frivolities this year
compared to last. So why do you think that 30% of all those young
demos can't make it on their own and have to rely on mom and dad
again? Either you're independetly wealthy by some means that makes
you fail to understand how real money is spent by real people in real
tight situations or you just blithely and blindly choose to continue
to believe that if the TV biz operates the why it does, then it must
be because it's actually being effective. TV and advertising both
share one thing in common: they deal in the art of illusion. This is
a game they play between themselves with the audience deemed as the
target, when in fact the audience generally pays little or no
attention to what's being pitched at them. You should know that
yourself. And don't tell me you faithfully sit through each and every
commercial that comes on, because if you do, then you definitely
aren't living in the real world.
it'd be nice to know what that other "hole" is in my logic. Ejekate me.
Networks don't keep, much less fight over unsuccessful shows
Two networks are fighting over "Scrubs"
That means "Scrubs" is __scamming the networks__
You may need to break out a calculator and a pencil with an eraser for
this one.
--- It does not compute.
