horrible, discriminatory show

1. let me clear up a misconception. Yes, this was a ratings hit. But that's because it was in the coveted spot between Seinfeld and ER (or was it Friends and Seinfeld?). Anyways, it was a time slot hit. As soon as this show was deservingly shipped off to a time slot that wasn't the best, it tanked immediately and was cancelled. Meanwhile, great shows like Newsradio got bounced around the schedule like a ping pong ball and had lower ratings. You won't find any intelligent person trying to argue Suddenly Susan is superior to Newsradio.

2. discriminatory show. So they're in San Fransisco, yet there's no gays or Asians? Highly unlikely. And how about that time where they were cracking down on sexual harassment in the workplace, and Brooke Sheild grabs her coworkers ass. Horrible. I had that happened to me before, and it's shameful, not something to laugh at. Why not joke about someone being raped while they're at it?

3. The cast just wasn't there. Brooke Sheilds in a comedic role as your star just isn't going to work. I know alot of my fellow gays like Kathy Griffin, but I find her to be obnoxious as hell and she was a carbon copy rip-off of Beth on Newsradio. The only reason people remember David Strickland at all was because he died. Just about everyone gets more famous and loved after they die. The guy was an alcoholic and drug addict and killed himself, pardon me if I don't overflow with sympathy.
