Because the Simpsons did it already, there are no more new ideas!

These are "safe" bets for network execs. Trade on a given name and you should at least break even.

Isn't that lame ?

In todays day and age there is nothing new or intelligent left to create for movies and TV shows.

So lame that many of the 'Old' TV shows, bad as they were, were better than the drivel being produced today
by self serving Super Yuppie Coke heads, where the emphesis is not on Content Quality but Baggies, lines, & Quantity.

And how many are even half as good as the original, they're just diverting to Technology and Special Effects. Oh, wow, like awesome, Dudes & Dudettes !

Ain't no original thoughts getting through the Suits these days.

I vaguely remember watching reruns of Kojak when I was a kid growing up in the early 80's. It was Tele Savalis right? And he always had a lollipop and he always said:

"Who loves ya baby"

While crap is still crap, even the second time around, it's much cheaper to sell used crap than to come up with fresh crap of your own. People will still watch, even though it sucked the first time, because people are basically stupid. Now you reminded me how much I hate everybody. ah heck off.
