[simpits-tech] Well Crap

[Ian Grant]

Sorry - bit late coming to this discussion (been busy building a ...
bathroom!)

I watched about 15 minutes of the show and it gave me a splitting
headache. The format rendered the topic unintelligible.

Hmm, same old same old.  ABC did that to "Call to Glory" which I felt 
was one of the best TV shows out there.  Yes, it had some flaws, but the

producers were really trying to look reflectively back at the '60's and 
it swung a little too far to the right for some individuals in TV land.

Brain mush sells much better and a lot of people prefer serving that to 
the audience for a whole host of reasons.
