why it's still on is super simple: it makes loads and loads of money

'Muricans like their trash tv. So many shows that are 'popular'...I don't understand why.

this reminds me of a really crazy story i read on twitter of a guy who got a job in the writer's room of some military-related show based on his experience in the army and then everyone slowly started to realize all the stories he was telling were bullshit

The doubt arose after Finch cited a family emergency and left the writers room to address it. Colleagues phoned Finch’s wife, Jennifer Beyer, similarities to the story Finch told them and Beyer’s history matched.

also, is this saying she passed off her wife's stories as her own?

i read the article so you don't have to. that is indeed what it sounds like and they are now getting divorced as a result. the writer if the article could stand to use less words and get a direct point across because they dance all around it without outright saying that.

right, i don't get what the family emergency has to do with it when it sounds like her wife alerted ABC she was lying after they started to get a divorce

is that set never NOT a mess? whew

This happened way back on Felicity. A woman claimed to be 19 and was praised as this teen writer genius but she was 32.

What in the CW casting age bullshit was that?? No white 32 year old woman looks 19, despite how many times she still get carded (hate to break it to people who take it as a compliment, when you're a new server/cashier the rule of thumb is to card anyone that looks under 40). This must be an Emperor's New Clothes situation, right? Like no one believed a rational adult would lie about being significantly younger than they are so they just assume they're a haggard looking 19?

it was the 90s

Like the TV show Younger? I love Sutton Foster but no way she could pass for 28 instead of late 30s,40 something...
