(Examiner) Followup Remember that ABC president who "resigned" yesterday, and everyone assumed it was because ABC's shows suck? Yeah, turns out he may be guilty of more than just greenlighting "Cavemen"   (examiner.com) divider line 38

Yes, but only greenlighting "Cavemen" should carry the death penalty.

What??? The guy with douchebag-hair and middle-age-executive-smug with matching jackass personality is accused of sexual harassment? That's unpossible!

ABC has one good show, and that is Modern Family.

Actually, I find all three shows (MF, Cougartown and The Middle) funny, all for different reasons. Cougartown is partially funny because my marriage is basically Ellie & Andy's.

They just messed up by not planting Better Off Ted in there as the fourth show and having a really solid comedy block. Hopefully they can find a good 4th show.

At least it was multiple sexual harassment claims. I would hate to see someone fired over just one.

 
awfulperson [TotalFark] 2010-07-29 01:21:27 PM  
Ahh, so apparently, he IS a caveman.

 
DjangoStonereaver [TotalFark] 2010-07-29 01:23:13 PM  
To be fair, he also greenlit CASTLE.

Doesn't make up for ACCORDING TO JIM, CAVEMEN or persistent
claims of sexual harassment.

I didn't even have to read the article, I just took one look at the dude in the picture, and I could immediately see that he looked like a big farking douche-bag.

farkers hate everyone with a face. you're cool because you're just a name on a glowing monitor being viewed from a basement somewhere. but if you dare to be wealthy and have your picture taken, well you're the worst person in the world.

Fox makes it, ABC runs it... McPherson had nothing to do with the production.

I'll never forget the time I had jury duty a few months ago. It was my first time and they instructed us that there was a computer lab available to those waiting around. As soon as the woman stopped explaining everything, Studman69's identical twin ran to the computer first before anyone even was able to pick their ass up from the seats.

I went in shortly and he was on , you guessed it, FARK. It was my first time seeing a Farker in real life and I am scarred to this day.

Sources said the alleged incidents involved several women, including some executives and on-air talent. The inquiry expanded to include email. A source said an incident at a company retreat, witnessed by more than one staffer, was also part of the inquiry.

I wonder who the on-air talent was.

I'm glad that, whoever she is, she's not putting up with this casting couch bullsh*t.

While it is certainly true that the default "hater" reactions get pretty tiresome, that guy's hair is really pretty douchey.

I heard that TBS was going to hire him there to be Ted Turner's love slave along with Andy Richter and that illegal immigrant guy that is on at a later time. Carlos Mencia, or something.

Yeah, ABC sucked back then too.

Cavemen should have been great. They should have traveled America in an RV like Pickers but different.

I don't know. Too many cases of 'morning after regret' and 'i'll fix you for not getting me what i want' among women towards men out there. I can't buy all sex harassment cases. I'm at the point where being charged isn't good enough for me to go 'automatic guilt!'

 
browneye 2010-07-29 02:58:05 PM  
It would really be interesting if it turns out the sexual harassment complains were made by men.

That's actually a Canadian show. Not sure they had much to do with it.

the middle is unwatchable because of the kid who plays the oldest son. absolutely terrible actor, even by young actor standards.

What? No? I have never heard one "hoser" or "eh" and they have never even been to a hockey game in any episode. Plus, I thought Mounties in Canadia wear red, not blue.

I don't think he's that bad. Obviously you don't know many 16 year old boys. They all "act" like that.

I think both TM and MF more rely on the adult performers to carry them anyway. Honestly, I think that MF kids of Julie Bowen are much more bland and "replaceable" than the kids cast on The Middle.

Pay attention to the place names - it's set in toronto and doesn't try to hide it.

You're right. I watched last night and the clues were everywhere. I had no idea Canadians were so much like Americans. Shocking. But when that kid agreed to go to surgery in a Canadian hospital you knew he was going to die. And he did.
