Rage


Okay, so now I have seen something else to be pissed about. A USA commercial showing the "heroes" that protect us showing their characters taking down bad guys-from White collar, In Plain Sight, Burn Notice, Jeff Goldblum right there alone in the middle of them I assumed representing LOCI, then they had the nerve to show Bobby & Alex.

For some reason this really pissed me off after what they are doing to them to use them. Perhaps I'm over-sensitive? I wish I had gypsy blood so I could put a curse on these people.

You don't need to be a gypsy or a witch to cast a spell. Just do it, Sista.

The trailers on Hallmark over here have a similar effect on me - poicture of JG and the caption "I am Criminal Intent". Not in my lifetime.

Yea, I saw the commercial on Friday and just about choked to death. I'm not sure how they put that out there - it's just like one final jab at us. It kind of made me sick - I had to shut the TV off.

Well, I sent another round of 'I'm pissed letters.' Mostly stating I was still angry, still boycotting both NBC and USA and now I'm NOT watching the season 9 premiere because I'm done. I refuse to watch as they kill LOCI.

I also told them if they couldn't afford LOCI in the first place, they should have just canceled and not cheapened it by getting new writers and actors they could pay less.

What they will have left is NOT LOCI.

Oh jeez I am going to get holy Hell for this, but what's the song playing for that commercial? I get pissed seeing the commercial too, but if I listen to the song and close my eyes, all I can see is Bobby.

I didn't see that ad, at least not year (or if it came on, I wasn't paying attention). They make me sick.

I got out of the TV Production biz b/c it's so cutthroat and competitive. And all I was doing was TV news! They go for the 'flavor du jour'. A few years ago they welcomed Alex & Bobby, now they've dropped them for Jeff G. I'm sure they will move on from Goldblum to the next one. There's just no loyalty in show biz.

Did you notice the new promo for USA Characters? They use Bobby abundantly in it.

I love that "they" don't show Bobby as a hero, but, "they" show him as a character with humor.........I seem to recall a network saying that they want "fluffier" shit and LOCI doesn't fit......

Nope, not just you...it pissed me off to. I have been basically boycotting USA now.
