Interesting marketing strategy......

[scotticher]

They are advertising that show on A&E called "Intervention" by calling it "the most talked about show on TV."

Do you think they are hoping that no one will notice that this is not necessarily a GOOD thing? And, from what I have heard, in this case it is NOT a good thing.

Hmm... Isn't that how they advertised the American version of Coupling? Didn't that get cancelled after 3 episodes?

[scotticher]

I don't know, but I wouldn't be surprised.

THIS one should have followed suit, from what I have read, but so far it is still being advertised so I assume it is still on air.

Why, I haven't a clue.

...a show called Intervention, "the most talked-about show on TV"...

If that doesn't start the theme from The Twilight Zone playing in your head, nothing ever will.

[scotticher]

LOTS of things start that theme playing in my head.

Sometimes I think my whole life is just one VERY LONG episode of that show. Other times, I think it is one VERY LONG episode of an amalgam of numerous sitcoms.

I'm an equal opportunity idiot. :D

Yeah, that's sorta like saying, "People compare my piano playing to Van Cliburn. They say, 'Van Cliburn is a great pianist, but you really suck!'"

Heh. I had an art teacher who compared me to da Vinci. What he actually said was, "Da Vinci, you ain't."

Yeah, that one's an oldie but a goodie.
