I would like to discuss two of the upcoming fall shows, brought to us by ABC. First up we have a comedy starring everyone’s favorite dumb blonde, Christina Applegate.
Here is what ABC has to tell us: “It’s a common fantasy: rewind your life, erase all the mistakes and cringe-worthy moments and start over with a clean slate. But for Samantha Newly, the fantasy is far too real. After a hit-and-run car accident puts her into an eight-day coma, she wakes up with retrograde amnesia — meaning that she can function in the world but she can’t remember a single fact about her own life. That’s when our heroine begins the long, comic process of starting over and digging for clues about her former not-so-nice self.”
Yeah, wow ABC…you have some fine writers over there. I can’t wait to see the hilarity that will be this show. Sign me up. Oh wait, it seems that I have a standing (and simultaneous) dentist and gynecologist appointment….every Tuesday night. Oh, its on Mondays? Umm….
OK, to show #2….. CAVEMEN! Once again ABC takes us where we never wanted to go…here is what they share:
“Over the last hundred thousand years, mankind has evolved from primitive creatures to sophisticated beings, except for a small minority who unfortunately didn’t evolve physically at all. Now three sophisticated cavemen (who already have a fan base from their popular GEICO commercials) are living in modern-day Atlanta, where they are at odds with contemporary society as they struggle to overcome their physical appearance and the accompanying stereotypes.”
Really? A fanbase. Wow. Are these the same folks who collected Rap Cat CD’s, McDonald’s happy meal Hot Wheels, and who still purshase Hardee’s plastic California Raisins on eBay? How many people are ABC counting on from this “fanbase” to pull this show through?
Luckily we here at MockDock don’t have to worry about things like “ratings” and “fanbases” since we have millions of viewers hourly who continually crash our system with all of their comments. But, its a good problem to have….blessing and a curse…and all that jazz. More reviews to come…
