I thought I'd send you to the holiday weekend (that's right, my birthday is now legally recognized as a day of reflection on both the state and federal levels) with the official Most Depressing Thing I Saw On TV This Morning As I Was Getting Ready for Work:
I was watching the E! True Hollywood Story of Saved By The Bell in which they were interviewing a producer or executive or some such moron from the glory days of the show. Trying to explain the lack of ratings success of the prime time Saved By The Bell: The College Years, said executive opined: "Well, I think the viewers got confused when they saw reruns of Zack, Slater, and Screech in high school at 6 o'clock and then in college at 8 o'clock."
Now, here's a little quiz: what is the most depressing part of this whole thing?
a) A TV executive/producer thinks so little of the intelligence of an audience that she assumes people will be confused by the concept of reruns.
b) She's probably right.
c) I watched the entire E! True Hollywood Story about Saved By The Bell this morning.
You have an hour. Pick up your pencils and... BEGIN!
