In Reply to: Kevin: A REPLY FROM ABC!!! posted by Neil Juan Luis on February 22, 2000 at 12:01:47:
While the exec. below may have a point re: "Whose Line is it Anyway?" and "Millionaire", I think what seriously disturbed Kevin was the means by which he learned that ABC had shifted the premiere of the show- he read it in Variety. Think about it- the CREATOR of the show learned of it's premiere date by reading it in the trades. Then, he learned about the "test screenings" and the low scores- WEEKS after they had occured. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out what was going on there. If ABC had the show's best interests in mind and was behind it, why sneak behind the creator of said show's back?
