I know I'm lame. But ABC dropped Sons & Daughters, a show that made me laugh so hard I almost pissed myself every Tuesday night. Then I'd spend days becoming the oldest sister (see I didn't even get time to memorize her effing name). And I just want it back. I want to watch it again. And laugh at Whitey again. NBC studios & Lorne Micheal did the show. Hopefully, NBC will pick it up since execs at ABC are apparently twirling around in their swivel chairs, thumbs up ass, watching old episodes of Full House, wondering where the hell 'TGIF' went. Hey if you liked Sons & Daughters you should send NBC mail too. Tell them we want this show. Somewhere. Anywhere. We just want to watch it again.

My email to NBC:
To Whom it May Concern,
Maybe you won't read this. Maybe you will. You should. I am your audience. I am 28, female, single...the audience that made Thursday nights...NBC's night. ABC recently dropped Sons & Daughters from it's line-up. That was, in my opinion, a huge mistake for several reasons. One being that the show didn't have enough to time to earn the huge ratings I'm sure it could achieve. When the last episode aired I'd just begun telling all my friends to watch it, telling people I worked with to watch it, watch it, watch it, telling my family that they had to tune in or else I'd never visit again, much less send a card for Mother's Day.
Truthfully, this is the funniest show since The Office. Sandwiched between The Office & My Name is Earl, Thursday could once again become the funniest night on television. Time after time I watch NBC, CBS, ABC trying to find a sitcom that works, that draws 'that' crowd back in. Lame Friends spin-offs and romantic comedies just don't work. They're not new. They're not fresh. Lorne Micheals has given us something incredibly new & fresh with Sons & Daughters. There's not one show on T.V. like it. In fact, there's not one show on television close to it.
It's completely ground-breaking.
And those ABC executives just didn't get it.
Please, NBC, show us that you do get it, that you get us, that you get our sense of humor & what we need to watch, to relate to. We just want to laugh at a show that looks so much like ourselves, that looks so much like the very people you try to entertain night after night.
If you're smart you'll pick this show up.
If you're not you'll search for something else to replace Will & Grace, to replace Friends, to replace Seinfeld, to replace all those great shows that have come & gone.
This is one of those shows. It has 'historic' written all over it.
Thanks so much for reading this,
Rebecca
( If NBC doesn't pick this show up, they're retards. )
