Life could be this beautiful without NBC-TV in it.

Remember the late 1970's, when the NBC television network was the most pathetic excuse for a broadcast entity in the history of the medium? Under the reckless and thoughtless management of Fred Silverman, NBC-TV degenerated into a prime time embarrassment for not only the few viewers who watched that network, but for its corporate parent as well. One of the many reasons why Fred Silverman ended up getting fired, was that he blew millions of dollars on a "STUPID ASS PET PROJECT" called "Supertrain." Silverman even had budget conscious MEGA FAILURES as well. Does anybody remember "Pink Lady & Jeff?"
The NBC television network, (its reputation not being helped any by its recent purchase of Universal Studios), is right back where they were in the late 1970's by being the "LAST PLACE NETWORK" in ratings, and having the WORST PEOPLE FOR THE JOB handling their programming. NBC recently proved that they had the "FRED SILVERMAN TOUCH OF BANALITY" by greenlighting a "STEAMING PILE OF DONKEY DUNG" called "LAX." Starring Heather Locklear, "LAX" proved that a television series set in an airport (if it's not "Wings"), can be a boring, comatose affair even if you have Heather Locklear trying to brighten up the scenery.
What was NBC's TRACK RECORD with "LAX?" CANCELLATION after three episodes?
NBC, JUST AS HARD UP for a smash hit television series as they were in 1979, is now throwing Ronald D. Moore's "CRAPPY STAR: GALACTICA" into the "RATINGS ROMAN COLLISEUM" hoping that Ronald D. Moore will do for them what they hoped "Supertrain" would also do for them in 1979.
NBC now has an EXTRA BURDEN added to their already horrific reputation this season. In addition to being in the RATINGS SEWER, NBC also now owns Universal Studios, which everyone is all too aware of. I don't know about any of you, but I would not want those two facts hanging over my head like a "Reputation Mutilating Guillotine." Adding insult to their injured reputation, NBC plans to air an edited version of Ronald D. Moore's "CRAP FEST" (mini series) some time next month. Lets see, what does NBC plan to edit out of this four hour long STINK FEST? The baby killing scene? The close-up shots of Edward James Olmos's ACNE PROBLEM? The scenes where the entire cast CAN'T ACT? The PORNOGRAPHY SCENES between "Six"/"Seven of Nine" and "Balls-Tar?"
I have a better idea for NBC....How about if they just pour gasoline all over the mini series film reels, and toss the entire STINK FEST into the nearest INCINERATOR?
