Archer

Have you seen the show Archer on FX?

The fifth season started tonight. No spoilers here, but they used the premier to essentially re-write the entire premise of the show. The episode was really funny. We’ll have to see how the rest of the season goes and how the huge changes work out, but hats off to the show’s creators. Can you image it? People in the TV business actually made changes to something. Not just small changes. This wasn’t a case of the baby on Full House is too old to be cute so let’s make one of the characters have twins. This is basically a re-write of the whole show. Same characters, but entirely unrelated story lines. I didn’t think anyone in Hollywood had the balls to try that. Frankly, I’m stunned. I hope it works out and they don’t get canned because the ratings drop a fraction of a point.

Good luck in the Danger Zone.

“We can’t accept events like this as routine. Are we really prepared to say that we are powerless in the face of such carnage?” – President Obama

We need to demand change. I don’t know the solution. Chances are that no one does. Does that mean that we should sit idly by and let this happen again and again?

No. It means that we have to be creative. We have to rely on original thinking. We put men on the damn moon, you think that violence in our culture is beyond us? I do not.

Action is required. Change is required. Passivity is death. Inaction is death.

Stand up to this, Mr. President. I, for one, have faith in you.
