      Boring Pilot with too many commercials
      I too saw this TV show on a "self erasing" video tape. When I got the call to review a "potential" new TV series I was happy to do so. I did exactly as I was instructed and then I when I got the call, they went immediately into questions about commercials. I told the lady (approximately 15 times) that I did not watch the commercials, but I took excellent notes on the show. She kept up with asking questions in detail about these commercials that I had already told her that I did not watch and that I wanted to make "proactive" comments about the show, she refused to talk about my thoughts on the show and said that she had to ask these questions first. I told her that I did not pay attention to any of the commercials and every answer would be no or 0. I also told her that when I received a call about this "potential" new series there was no mention about commercials or any products, if so I would have never ever agreed to such a thing, I was mislead and I was disrespected by this company, she even told me after the fact that the conversation may be taped, but I was not made aware of this until half way through the conversation. I will never ever buy a product that she was bound and determined to speak about before I hung up. As for the show, it was dry, boring and really could not believe anyone would have wasted their time and money to show up to work after one day of shooting. I am a fan of Rue McClanahan, she is lucky that this show did not make it, it would have tarnished her career.
