Remember Cop Rock? It was easily the worst show of 1990, and one of the worst programs ever produced. Just the mere picture you get in your head when thinking of a police musical television drama should have been enough to keep this show from ever being produced. I was standing in a TV control room when the first episode aired and as soon as one of the lead characters broke into song, everyone in the room broke out laughing. I just stood there with my mouth hanging open. The writing was good. The acting was good. The singing and the songs were good. But the idea of combining heinous crimes with music was just bizarre. The show aired 13 episodes only because CBS guaranteed a 13-week commitment.
I also foresaw the early demise of The Book of Daniel. I seem to have a talent for smelling a disaster upwind and 10 miles away, and it just befuddles me as to why network executives don't have that same ability. Where's my seven-figure salary?
Where am I going with this? It seems that Alec Baldwin has signed on to a TV sitcom about a guy who works on a show like Saturday Night Live (an unfunny comedy about an unfunny comedy?). I don't care how good this show might be, I predict that nobody will watch. Not only is Baldwin a bad actor, he is a particularly vicious left-wing lunatic who says and writes garbage like this.
Cheney is a terrorist. He terrorizes our enemies abroad and innocent citizens here at home indiscriminately. Who ever thought Harry Whittington would be the answer to America's prayers. Finally, someone who might get that lying, thieving Cheney into a courtroom to answer some direct questions
I don't know about you, but when an actor is a drooling idiot, it ruins his entire performance for me. Just as a lot of people can no longer stand to see the Dixie Chicks, there are a lot of people -- myself included -- who can't stand to look at Alec Baldwin without being sickened. Watch out for his upcoming sitcom, you might miss it if you blink.

Hey Ranger! Take your revulsion for Baldwin and multiply it by a thousand and you'll have just an inkling of the way most Vietnam vets think of Hanoi Jane Fonda...and multiply THAT by a million to get a taste of our revulsion for John F. Kerry, D-Hanoi!
I liked Barbarella.
Kimosabe- I think Trader Rick is being a little vague, don't you? I mean--- tell us what you really think, man!
;-)
For the record... Alec Baldwin... unbelievable.... I tried to read that trash over at Huffington's Post and couldn't make it through the 1st paragraph..... I won't be watching anything of his on television either...
The guy is completely delusional. Not a comment in the column is true. It's all a bunch of liberal talking points.
Casting Baldwin as Jimmy Doolittle in the big budget turkey "Pearl Harbor" was an insult to Jimmy Doolittle's legacy.
Doolittle was an American Hero.
Alec Baldwin is a Hollywood Pansy Bed-Wetting Liberal Commie Idiot.
