ESPN Premieres STAR WARS Themed ‘Admiral Ackbar for Ole Miss Mascot’ CommercialBarry Sonnenfeld and ABC to Partner for Terrible-Sounding Sitcom

In what must be a twisted way of honoring the legacy of “According to Jim” and the eight shitty seasons of television ABC allowed it to have, the network has now partnered with writer-director Barry Sonnenfeld to erase any goodwill garnered by their previous collaboration, “Pushing Daisies”. I was never a fan of “Daisies” (contrary to popular belief, you cannot cobble together a story out of twee and whimsy), but could understand its following to a certain extent. I don’t think an understanding will be possible if their new show sounds as bad as its premise: “A harried mother finds a special suit that gives her super powers.” Were they unable to remake “My Mother the Car”? And if Sonnenfeld and ABC just want to make a show with supernatural characters and cartoonish premises, won’t people just call it a rip-off of “Heroes”?
I disagree! Its a wonderful, unique and funny show!
You just didn’t give it a chance!
And Heroes? Have you seen the second and third season seriously!
Sounds to me like a new take on “The Great American Hero” – wait no, that’s G.I. Joe. What was the name of that show from the 70’s with the dude who found a red super-suit that made him fly?
What is this?! Greatest American Hero goes menopausal?! What a terrible, tired idea!
