And it burned out very quickly.

I'm pretty confident that at the time, Eddie Murphy truly found the idea of men wanting to have sex with each other to be the funniest thing he'd ever heard of.

I guess Fred was either too fat to fit through the window or too uncoordinated to get himself through there.

Grimm was on my short list, except I don't pick Friday shows unless I absolutely have to. But Grimm was under a 1.0 for the entire season last year and it has a terrible lead-in again, this really should be the end.

Same thing with Bobby Lee's John McCain. It was great because it was so fucking ridiculous.

MADtv's performers were of at least equal calibre and also a lot more diverse, which was another huge advantage.

The people who said TV was garbage in the 60s couldn't imagine what was coming in 50 years.

In Wilmore's case, the ratings weren't really that bad and late night shows tend to get more time to establish themselves, so my guess is that the cancellation might have been as much of a shock to Wilmore as it was to everyone else.

Whatever the actual reason, this cancellation wasn't due to poor ratings because they weren't that bad to justify pulling the plug so quickly. So maybe it was this viral content excuse, or maybe CC just wasn't thrilled with the show and wanted to move in a new direction.

And in comparison, what makes Samantha Bee refreshing is that she doesn't feel obligated to show both sides if one of those sides is obvious bullshit. She expresses her point of view through comedy instead of filling time letting a bunch of assholes run off at the mouth.

Hard to believe that the sitcoms can improve on Scorpion in the time slot, so clearly CBS is hoping they land in the mid-1s and Scorpion can do better at 10 than NCIS: LA did.

It was a final episode cliffhanger.

Same with Janeane Garofalo when she wanted off the first spinoff (which was cancelled anyway).

Now you're talking. Do the old split screen thing with Holt meeting Pembleton. That's good crossover cheese right there.

No, the only soap he posted was Another World, no Days.

And it was ABC's Tuesday kicking the stuffing out of the CBS rural lineup that was the final straw that led to the purge, even sweeping out Hee Haw, the lone CBS Tuesday hit.

They might have to cut one of their "Great Job, Internet!" columns and no one wants that.

Two-term governor. Served on boards of political organizations. Ran for president in 2012. Founder of a Super PAC. Running for president again.

"I think it's more a Newsradio than a Seinfeld/Friends though."

So aside from autotune, is there really such a thing as a distinctively 2000s look or sound that is clearly out of date today? If I was magically transported back to 2007 without knowing it and went for a drive in a new city, could I really tell the difference?
