Just a random observation on no particular network…
So is it because they think that football fans are all stupid that stations put the following ads during games?
*really mediocre clip from a new show*
Then, proudly and in BIG LETTERS:
“TV’s Number One New X”
X = Drama, Comedy, Whatever
Question: How many “new X’s” ARE there that particular week? Even month?
Ummm…one? Maybe two?
So it’s the best of itself. Or it’s 50/50.
AMAZING!!!
Oh, and then sprinkling in REAL, LEGITIMATE “Number One Y” to give the appearance of “Wow…this station is AMAZING…they have the number one EVERYTHING!”
No. They have one show that’s number one in a diminished “television” market.
The rest of it means somewhere between “Jack” and “sh1t”.
I mean, here’s the intended overall effect, IMPO:
(For this, X = Legitimate Number One Show, Y = BS Number One, Z = BS Number Two)
“Wow…I mean, I knew they had X…that’s a cool show…but they have Y, AND Z too? Wow, this network fcken ROCKS!”
