re: #405 Gus

Hollywood has become to self-conscious and lost all since of irony or self-deprecation.

I’ll point out that much of broadcast network television isn’t really controlled from Hollywood (or even made there), but from the advertising agencies in New York. Content is driven by the ability to generate ad revenue, which has always been true of “free” television (remember all the cigarette adverts from years ago?), and today ad revenue is gotten by selling to late teens and early 20 year olds. The over 45 market is too small to influence much television.
