In an unwelcome addendum to an earlier post, NBC is once more displaying the shrewd Audience judgment and overall sensitivity that have allowed it to secure the unenviable distinction of being the lowest rated Network in the history of the medium.
On September 11th, 2001, 2,996 people died in the worst single act of terrorism ever perpetrated upon this proud and glorious nation. For the sixth anniversary, the pea-brains at the Peacock have decided to commemorate the day with a two-hour special.
...of 'The Biggest Loser.'
Are they already so blase about the heinous events in New York and PA that they can calmly allocate the only special programming on the Anniversary to the season debut of a reality show? I'm not suggesting they should provide blanket reportage and hours of sombre music, but a tangible acknowledgment of the immeasurable loss of so many unfulfilled lives and their implicit potential, and of the emotional impact that is a daily 'reality' for the wives, mothers and families who are left would hardly be too much to ask...Would it?
Or perhaps that would not be so profitable.
What do you all think of this?
