Wow, really? It was cleverly filmed and just jammed to the hilt with joke after joke, but still that's an awful lot of bling to spend on producing a 24-minute sitcom. Does that include the cost of the cast?

I had assumed it included the cast and dont see how else they could have spent that much. But I never found an official statement so who really knows. BTW I hate people that are so close minded that they completely disregard other shows like alot of AD fans or even the whole Simpsons vs. Family Guy vs South Park debacle. Sorry if I came off like that. I love all TV but AD will always have that special place.

I also wanted to throw out something else out there. Networks have become alot less loyal to shows like they used to be and arent letting shows grow and develop like they used to(even though I am a youngin). Theyre willing to pull the plugs on shows alot quicker at the first sign of lower ratings. I expect the average of the length of television series to be much, much less than what they used to be. If this is true its sad that television's quality will suffer just because keeping old running shows on is more expensive than a cheap pilot that they can pick up. The criteria for a classic is unfortunately IMO going to be changing in the next 20 years. Good points though tugs, I love talking TV. I think I like TV way to much. Sigh. Im gonna go start watching Season 1 of Rescue Me then once Im caught up on that find the last three seasons of Oz.
