As we all already know and have had drilled into our skulls time and again, I'm currently working on a 7 part series for the E! network called "The 7 Deadly Hollywood Sins", and honestly, I've been having a grand ol' time doing it.
Now if you don't know anything about television production, theshitheads fine network folk above the production level are called the "Development Department". Their job is to...well....I guess on Wednesdays they....erm....
Let's just say they pull in an assload of money and are basically the people that look at the near-finished product and say, "Hm. I don't like that. Fix it," and then leave the room to go do a fantastic amount of blow, or check on their housekeepers, or see about that penis growing regiment someone spammed them about.
On another episode of the series, the produced of that episode told me that the development people had one major note: In his half hour, there is a segment on one of the actors from the series Full House who wound up strung out on crack. One of the voice overs jokingly states, "During a raid on the Full House, police discovered..." blah blah. The HEAD OF DEVELOPEMENT actually said, "Will we get in legal trouble if we talk about raiding the full house?", as if this "full house" was an actual fucking place on the face of the earth.
The other producer stated back, flatly, "It's a fictitious place. It doesn't exist."
Head of development: "Oh. Okay. No other notes then."
This is why what you watch on you tv sucks so hard.

What ever happened to predictibility?
The milkman, the paperboy, evening TV.
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go (there's a heart).
There's a heart
A hand to hold onto.
Everywhere you look , everywhere you go.
There's a face
Of somebody who needs you.
Eveywhere you look,
When you're lost out there and you're all alone,
A light is waiting to carry you home,
Everywhere you look.
Everywhere you look.
