The Loquacious Limey

A Superb Lack of Trust

I didn’t think it was possible to find anything positive to say about ‘Trust Me,’ the crass intellectual insult perpetrated by TNT that I wrote about recently. But I was misinformed – There’s some great news: The audience hated it!

Despite being handed 6.4m viewers from the preceding, intelligent show ["The Closer"] only 1.3-million stayed to suffer this shameless 22-minute sales-pitch.

And in a nation of 150+ million homes, ratings like that get people fired.

Product Placement is a virulent disease that was inflicted on the American audience by creatively bankrupt network execs, eager to stop people skipping their nice, profitable commercials.

…But if your witless solution to viewers skipping commercials is to make a whole show that’s one giant commercial…what else did you think they would do with it??

We may hate their shows [and with good reason,] but you have to admire such utter devotion to boundless greed and stupidity.

With ‘Trust Me,’ the great American public have shown they’re fed up with being exploited. And they proved it in the only way people dumb enough to believe this repugnant charade should ever see daylight would even remotely care about – Laughable ratings. In a perfect world the show will be canceled at once, and the arrogant, patronizing, avaricious ingrates who green-lit this turkey will need a new job before Easter.

And you can find out how to make this a perfect world…after a word from our Sponsor…
