OVER BEFORE IT BEGAN (PLAYBOY CLUB TV SHOW CANCELLATION)
DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB
NBC has cancelled The Playboy Club and that’s, of course, totally cool with me. Chad Hodge (NBC show runner and feminist extraordinaire ;) had this to say about it:
“I think there’s a perception of the show that’s false,” he said. “There are different brands of feminism and I don’t think it should be boxed into any one version.” “I think there was a perception that we were trying to do something politically ambitious or make a statement or make this a show about empowering women, which sounds super boring to me. That sounds like a documentary, which this certainly is not. This is more like Chicago, Moulin Rouge and All That Jazz, Desperate Housewives. This is a fun, sexy soap,” he added.
WHATEVER.
