The WB=pretty people only need apply for jobs here. A young women where I work didn't think she could go see A Beautiful Mind because Russell Crowe didn't look attractive enough! This is a young gal raised on Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Julie Roberts, etc. I've said from the beginning, TV is basically written for a generation of young American's who are putting looks ahead of most else in their viewing choices.
I went over to BarnabusUnDead.Com website where they have a picture of one of the actors from the new series in makeup. Wow! It's possible that a series like the new DS could be produced in a country like England. They seem so much more in tune to accepting actors that aren't drop dead gorgeous in terrific storylines. It's okay to be over 25 and still have a life.
Now that Frazier is gone and Everyone Love's Raymond is leaving next year, I can see the Kelly Ripa type comedies taking over. Sorry to say, I think that American TV is on it's death bed. It's really depressing that there is so little out there anymore. At least for my generation.
One more thing! I've noticed on a lot of TV today that it's so geared towards children that the practically non-existent adults in the show have been delegated to just standing around twiddling their thumbs in the background while the kids resolve all the problems in the home.
