I don’t. I think it’s always very weird when television comedy chases the idea when it should be chasing execution. I read some logline for “a really conservative Ann Coulter-like talk show host is really messed up in her personal life.” Why can’t it just be there’s a really cool, interesting female character? I think feature films sell on the idea, and I think TV works based almost entirely on execution. I don’t think anybody is going, “Wow, that show is executed poorly, but the idea is so cool I just have to keep watching.
