[Dark Side Of The Moon]

ABC-Another Botched Concept

[bill]

I can hear the pitch to Toyota now:

"Push is going to be the runaway hit of the season. We are still six weeks away from air and we've already got a tremendous buzz going on the Internet. You should see how rabid those guys are at http://www.argn.com. They've already found the website and hacked our voice mail. We're getting a bazillion hits at pushtimes.com and we can funnel that traffic straight to you. We're so convinced, we are going to slot the show against the biggest shows on the other networks."

Yeah right!

[Wouldn't u like 2 no?]

Yeah, but you really don't need too many people too account for all that traffic at pushtimes. I think there are a lot of people who honestly would watch push but don't want to give up watching what they've already been on other channels. If only Push had come first. If they just change the time slot, they'll get plenty better ratings as long as they can advertise it well enough. Don't they have some kind of suggestions page at ABC.com?
