And the only reason “Modern Family” has an audience is the hot woman who plays the wife of Al Bundy and his conservaitve values, trying to exist in a libtard world of homo ‘family’ who adopted a poor little girl.

The show would have more audience if it dropped the homo-promoting agenda. It’s not even that the gay characters are bad, they have funny parts- but it is so wrapped in “we’re homo’s” stuff that it’s unbearable and does nothing for the plot.

Hollywood absolutely loves the stories about the Red Scare and the house commitee on un-American activities and The Blacklist against communists.

they love that that the notion their leftists suffered. Bbut the real story is the black lists are made by the left.

remember Jaws or Apocalypse Now? well the guy who wrote all of the dialogue for those hits and bigger head was John Milius, the screenwriter whose name was once as big as Steven Spielberg or George Lucas.

he was physically huge, he loved guns and Ywas a Hollywood anomaly; he was a patriot.

after he used his own money to make Red Dawn the entire left United and destroyed his career.

he was so poor he couldn’t afford to pay the tuition for Sons Law School.

They completely destroyed him, simply for being a patriot.

Two problems. One was that abc didn’t own the show so no syndication money for them. Second it was very expensive. Quantified and once upon a time are owned by abc and make a fortune on international and American syndication. That’s the bottom line. Like everything it was about money. Sorry they are not a charity.

Allen’s show is owned by 20th Century Fox. Which is owned by 21st Century Fox. Which is owned by Fox Entertainment. Which is owned by News Corp. The same News Corp that recently got its Sky takeover approved by the EU at the same time that FNC and the Daily Mail are being done in from within.

Go figure.

Note to Tim Allen: Own and produce your own stuff. Sell it directly to viewers. You don’t want a middleman anymore.

Not a charity? I beg to differ.

That is about the stupidest comment I have ever read.

I’ve heard that Tim Allen is being punished because he said he attended Trump’s inauguration. Probably not true, but...

The entire media complex has been taken over by the left. They are in business TO promote a leftist agenda, not to make money.

Read Primetime Propaganda, by Ben Shapiro! At Amazon.

DVRs viewings raise hob with ratings. Especially if viewers blow through the commercials. If ABC needed a hook to hang its hat on, they may have used DVR ratings to justify this decision. Glad I’m not a shareholder.

They realized that the success of the show undermines their larger goals. It was growing in success, which they didn’t anticipate - it couldn’t be allowed to continue. If it had just been a “mild success” it’d probably still be on.

Content is king. Not networks, not providers.

Here’s a thought: Shows as start ups. Air a sample episode or two for free on youtube, elsewhere on line. Figure out production costs and how many buyers/subscribers you need at what price per season. If you get enough subscribers, produce until your subscribers fall off. Throw in a free DVD of the season. I can think of a few shows I’d be happy to do this for.
