You may have noticed that the major networks have recently started their promotional push to remind fans that scripted sitcoms and dramas are returning soon. Said CBS Entertainment Chief Nina Tasler in today’s USA TODAY, “I can’t underestimate the importance of telling people you’re back.” Added NBC marketing chief John Miller, “We do have a job to get people back.”
And while it’s nice that the networks recognize the need to let fans know the shows so near and dear to our hearts are returning. This TV Addict can’t help but think that fans are owed a little more for having to endure over three months of reruns and reality TV. Not to mention CROWNED, CLASH OF THE CHOIRS and the glorified two hour car commercial that was KNIGHT RIDER.
Now obviously I’m not expecting NBC to have Tina Fey knock on my door and personally invite me over to watch 30 ROCK [The TV Addict’s address just in case!]. But as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words.
So with that in mind, this TV Addict thought he’d throw out a few ideas that the networks may wish to pursue in order to put the past three months behind us. Seriously, no pressure….
