They're fucking jackasses, those network executives at The CW to even
(((CONSIDER))) bringing back another season of a way beyond creatively
tired series. Did they learn NOTHING from carrying over old, tired
'7th Heaven'? Ultimately, NBC suffered keeping 'Friends' and 'Frasier'
on. IF they bring it back, they get what they deserve!!! This goes
DOUBLE for agonizing 'Scrubs'.
