Well, perhaps. But TV critics seem to have collective amnesia and act all incredulous and hyperbolic when it turns out that, yet again, most new broadcast shows suck and fail. Development is hard, network television is bad at development, most shows are bad and fail. It's the same every year.

It feels like NBC keeps desperately trying to launch a successful gay-themed comedy, likely pushed by network head Bob Greenblatt. NBC has tried to launch Sean Saves the World, One Big Happy and The New Normal in recent years to no avail.

Fun fact: GSN recently announced that it's getting the highest primetime ratings in its history.

Fox would be crazy to give a Deadpool movie a $100m+ budget.

And people laughed at them when they bought ads in the GOP debate.

If you didn't want a little irritation then you shouldn't have had children.
