These shows almost seem like a Sat. Night Live show in which the actors look directly at the camera and say something to the audience like "I know this is dumb but bear with me". It is also like a cartoon in which bugs bunny stops all the action to comment on what is happening. I do not watch much of the network TV now that I have cable and I really don't intend on becoming a couch potatoe. Network TV seems to be intent on not allowing us to become "couch potatoes" with all the crap that is on now. I would rather see LUCY re-runs than the gunk that is on now.
