tv is back, and it's bigger than ever
i should know, i have a 73'' hd mega screen 3000
(it's bitchin) i don't know why i spend the time
and sit in front of this tiny computer monitor for you people
but that's show business, which brings us to today's lesson:
tv networks working on next season's new shows
still are pimping plenty of radical, liberal, governmental shows
that show federal agents solving crimes and shooting
the bad guys, previously known as cops and robbers tv
but what they really want, and gonna get is... comedy
46 of them, a recent record, are vying for slots
on the four major networks, all of which hope to increase
the number of half-hour sitcoms they air next season
the networks will say as much in program-development
meetings with advertisers that began yesterday
among the rituals of the annual season of renewal
and rebirth that precedes the fall schedule announcements
that networks will make in mid-may
it's no secret why networks are pining for laughs
though almost every returning drama has lost viewers
this season, eight comedies have posted ratings gains
led by cbs with their hit the big bang theory
up 21% in its fifth season, thanks partly to new exposure
via syndicated reruns, which are also up over 20% as well
people like to laugh and the networks like money
so this comedy thing is the future of tv, again
details tomorrow, stay tooned
yeah, where are the cartoons, that's what i miss...
the-the-that's all folks... until tomorrow
