TV has become profoundly affected by this government spyprogram called the Inter Nets. And now almost everyone with half a brain is using it. I said almost.
And half a brain. I ain't using it, and technically a lobotomy only removes about 1/8th of the cerebrum.
so when the tv networks realized their customers were receiving their daily dose of mental aneasthetic from the Inter Nets, they began to go crazy to find ways to drive down cost and increase revenue. Well mostly, the craziness the big TV networks of old did was to stick their heads in the sand try to wish the Inter Nets away with all their might. The newspaper industry has been trying to stick their fingers in their ears while they have their heads in the sand while yelling like dying pigs, and amazingly it hasn't helped them!
So, Network TV just did nothing, kept tryring to develop the same 4 camera sitcom using that same damn sound stage that has been the interior home of choice since Lucy, or Archie Bunker, or Sanford and Son (kitchen varies between stage right and stage left)
When was the last time a broadcast network had a hit? Except for Glee. And 30 Rock. Well, ok there've been a few. Seinfeld. Friends.
TV has also realized that they needed to talk plainly to their customers about everything including the tube you jam down your ureter so you can spray piss uncontrollaby like a dropped garden hose with the spray turned up to "Strip Paint" mode. Who knew that it was even an issue to have to use the same pee straw twice? i thought you just stuck one up in yeah and wore it around like a sort of tampon/suction device. When would you ever take one out?
Anyway, I know that explains everything, so you're welcome
