Bill Maher's comment about people who don't get the joke (Fuck Them) is basically how I feel about new tv shows today. Monty Pythons Flying Circus was one of the best shows ever created...yet if it was being piloted today, it would be shot down by one stupid executive out of thousands reviewing it with a hard on for power and shutting things down.

The TV business is now an inverted pyramid...with a lot of bullshit suits at the top with very little talent at the bottom making watered down all inclusive bullshit shows for morons. Sometimes some quality sneaks through like Community...but even good shows like Modern Family are looking homogenized and "Cosbyish" in some episodes.

You don't like a new interesting TV show? You don't get the jokes they're throwing? Look in a mirror and say "Fuck You" and leave people alone.

EXACTLY... and that is why I don't have TV service. It is just a pile of crap put together to keep the mindless in their mindless state, broadcast commercials to keep corporations rich, and to feed establishment propaganda to the masses to keep them mentally in-line with the status-quo.

Olbermann went up against the status-quo and criticized the government. That is why he is going off the air. That is why he was 'let go'.

Tedbater's reaction, "Good riddance. The world is better off without your shrill whine."

Now if we could only get rid of the morons like Beck, Hannity, O'Reilly, and Limbaugh...

Joke?! What joke?
