What kind of brainless idiots could possibily create shows such as these, write scripts for them, not to mention have their names associated them in the credits, is beyond me. And what could have been going through the feeble brains of the feeble brained TV executives as they approved and funded these shows, we may never know. And what's this about Mr. French? Mr. French! Neat, huh? Well, I always thought of him as some big 'ole fat from, what's the name of that country over there, 'cross the Atlantic, uh, New Zealand, or France, or Canada, or something like that. Yeah, it was probably France. And, while I'm on the subject, is there really a person with the name ``epic'' as the original poster's user id would suggest? Maybe it's some bird-brained TV junkie figgerin' out some new TV show angle about two little kids with their Uncle Burt and their zany antics as they live in their ``survival condominium'' in Utah in the year 2525. Or maybe Brooklyn! (Whots da maddah wit dat???) So netnews-ers and netnews-ettes, is this the good word, or what? (flames to /dev/null) Howard G.
