: I'm not sure about that...ABC has great caving potential, and it's another great target for extremist groups out to protect their children from Eevil ideas. With ABC's chain of command there's some real potential for Dogma/ABCTV crossover idiocy.
: Actually, to give ABC credit, they will probably shift the drug angle with the same sensitivity to the original material that we saw when Mallrats hit the small screen.
: In my own opinion, ABC lost the right to condemn drug use when they renewed Two Guys and a Girl...I can't imagine that thing getting the green light for another season without serious executive-level bong rips.
