(mik) ABC's Arrested Development

Fucking ABC. The American Broadcasting Company, which has some of the lowest brow, laugh-track heavy comedy line-ups of any major network (with the exception of CBS, whose programming is geared towards the Geritol Generation), has cancelled their lone comedic brightspot: The Knights of Prosperity. I know you haven't seen it (hence, the cancellation), but it was a genuinely funny show with unlimited potential. Produced by Dave Letterman's Worldwide Pants, it follows a motley crew of blue collar workers, starring Donald Logue (of Grounded for Life fame.....anyone? Anyone? Bueller?) to rob Mick Jagger's house.

I laughed out loud at least once every episode. So what does ABC do with their most promising show? They yank it from its original Fall line-up to 'aggresively promote' it for a Spring release. When they finally run the show in January, it's put up against the veritable buzzsaw that is American Idol. After less than stellar ratings, they scratch their heads wondering why no one's watching the show. After 5 episodes, ABC decides to cancel what could have been the next Arrested Development and decide to air re-runs of what is undoubtedly their bottomless goldmine of comedy: According to Jim,

Hilarious. Thanks ABC.

RIP, sweet Knights

Hey Mike - don't get too dishearted quit yet - there is a buzz that the "Knights" just may be coming back for Season 2 - that will be announced in mid-May at the NYC Upfronts when they announce all the new fall shows. Keep the faith! And, send E-mails to ABC! Alot of us have been doing that and it couldn't hurt (ABC.com) - (also, ABC actually aired 9 episodes before they pulled it.) We hope it comes back, too!

I find the previous comment HILARIOUS. Ok, granted, never seen the show, I'm sure it's fantastic, but really want to know who made the comment. Is this a faithful fan of BeeInACar? Is this an ad exec dedicated the the "Knights" account? Is this just Mike trying to make his postings seem more credible by bolstering his forlorn causes with "anonymous" comments? Regardless, it was posted at FIVE FORTY SEVEN in the MORNING. Damn that man loves him some "Knights"! Regardless, as "anonymous" says - keep the faith!

PS - he misspelled "quite". I suppose blogging after a night of eight-balls and tranny hookers will do that to you. That's right Mike. I know it was you.

A motivating discussion is worth comment. I
do think that you need to publish more about this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but generally folks don't speak about such subjects. To the next! Cheers!!
