: First of all, half of this makes no sense. Partly because you don't use any paragraph breaks to clarify your points. : : Ok I know that this ABC shit is getting old, but what the fuck is thier problem? : Who cares? : : First they fuck our old godly leader Kevin Smith. : Huh? : : But they are fucking everyone. : Ok. : : I live in NC, and ABC was turned off of cable for a couple of days because they couldn't settle with Time Warner Cable. : Yeah, that was two behemouths fucking each other. : : Then I was reading today in the AOL news that a show called "sports night" wasn't right for them either so the droped it. Well they were going to sign on with HBO, and redu it, but ABC started tripping, and now they completely lost the whole show. : Do these sentences make sense to you? : Ok, they were running "Sports Night". I believe it was a mid-season replacement that got renewed, so it ran a year and half or so. Then they cancelled it at the end of this season. I knew this, and I think I would've understood if I hadn't known it already. : So, then the producers were shopping it to HBO. I knew that, too. : "... but ABC started tripping, and now they completely lost the whole show." : That, however, doesn't mean anything to me. Wanna try it in English? : : Then on in the news further down they start talking about the movie Chicken Run (what ever the fuck that is)... : It's one of the best looking movies of this summer. : : ... and aparently the company that made that movie has some deal with ABC that they have the rights to their stuff. : Ok. That's a pretty common arrangement. A network pays a production company a set figure and get the opportunity to be the first to accept or reject a series. I don't see any problem with that. : : ... well ABC turned them away... : Again. No problem. I haven't seen the show. Maybe ABC is dumb for turning it down, but considering their recent record for cancelling good shows, I won't cry about it. : : ... and they have the right to let NBC show it or not. : Alright. So what then? : : My question is this. If the government can shut down Microsoft, and AT&T then they better get their asses to ABC and shove some law up Mickey's ass. : The government's case was already pretty weak against Microsoft, but ultimately, there are plenty of other broadcasters and production companies, so they don't really wield a monopoly. It used to be illegal for them to be in direct collusion, but it isn't any longer, which opened up the door for Fox, Warner Brothers and Paramount to start their own broadcast networks. Disney/ABC doesn't differ substantially from these entities. : And what would be the goal of this government intervention? To make them show tv shows that we like? Isn't that insane? And Fascist? : : Someone needs to shine a little light on ABC so maybe they can get off this fucking cloud they are floating on. : The cloud of being the #1 network? : : No one made them god, and eventually it is going to catch up with them. : Seriously, stop hitting the crack pipe so hard.
