OK, let me just complain a little bit here, something you may have noticed I am often wont to do.
Tonight NBC once again showed what it calls “Super Sized” episodes of it’s Thursday sitcoms. We were treated to an extra special super hilarious 40 minute Friends, Scrubs, and Will & Grace.
Here’s the thing: Friends clocked in a bit over it’s usual 22 minutes. Scrubs? Dunno, I never watch that. But Will & Grace, in it’s 40 minute time slot: Let’s see. It began at 9:24 (it was scheduled for 9:20) and ended at 9:54. That sounds like a half hour to me. To fill that last 5 minutes, NBC aired a looooonnnnggg promo for it’s new sitcom A.U.S.A. (I wonder what the Association of the U.S. Army thinks of that?) I have no doubt that they stuck at least an extra minute into the show because there was a long teaser, which was unfunny and seemed like it would have normally been edited much tighter.
If McDonald’s super sized their meals like this, America wouldn’t be a nation of obese people looking to sue.
