Off Topic Post: What the H*** was ABC Thinking?

I just had to post on this despite it being completely off topic.  It has nothing to do with photography or art, (the topic limit I placed on this blog.)  I just couldn't resist posting on this.

Last night, ABC ran a Muppets Thanksgiving Special. Nothing unusual there, but they decided to pair the Muppets with Lady GaGa, RuPaul and Elton John.  WTH were they thinking?  You pair the modern-day Queen of Burlesque (not to mention two queens of another sort) with a group based on wholesome entertainment fit for children?

Burlesque has its place, but it isn't the type of thing people want their children watching, and it showed in the ratings.

Lady Gaga and the Muppets got fewer viewers than the 40-year old Charlie Brown Thanksgiving show.   (The latter drew 50% more viewers.)

The Entertainment Industry, as a whole, has no idea what the rest of the country wants to watch at this point.

I just had to share this image from last night's show:

'nuff said.
