TV Gets The Bottomfeeders

TV viewership still down in wake of 100-day writers strike
Comedies were hurt least by the strike. CBS was so buoyed by the performance of their Monday night comedies that the network is considering adding comedies on another night.

Who watches that crap?

People who don't know what humor is.

People who would laugh at someone throwing up.

In other words, the lowest of the lowest demographic, education and income-wise.

Oh, but TV is really gonna reach out and grab us people on the Net, with innovation such as this:
Not surprising for television, some of the ideas have a whiff of familiarity. Cedric the Entertainer is developing a comedy for ABC about a suddenly rich family moving to Beverly Hills ("then one day he was shooting for some food, and up through the ground come a bubbling crude").

Wow.

But wait, Nikki Finke reported:
I am also told that two ABC comedy pilots, The More Things Change (Regency) and the Untitled Cedric The Entertainer (ABC TV Studios), are dead at the network.

So much for innovation!
