Remember that all-too-clever zero-sum-accounting stunt the TWXSTERS pulled with the Four Horseyfaces of the Metropolis? The one that involved a "REBRANDING"?
It didn't work:
The week “SATC” launched on TBS, four episodes ranked in the top 10 for the week, each episode averaging around 3 million households. Last week no episode of “SATC” finished in the top 50 in household delivery.
1. The hard-core fans have already forgotten it -- if they didn't resent it being bowdlerized (not that we're talking Balzac -- and not that
the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF WILLFULLY IGNORANT ADVERTISERS would have minded); and 2. Who needs comedy when you have the Braves' announcers? (Sorry, we like them.)
Unfortunately a lot more politically "astute" stoned slackers are watching VIACON's Comedy Central.
