So ABC had its turn to present at the Television Critics Association press tour yesterday, and recently installed network head Paul Lee addressed the question that I’m sure you were dying to hear answered: “So yeah, Paul, how come so many shows on your network with ‘Bitch’ in the title?”
ABC’s midseason schedule included two shows, Good Christian Bitches and Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apartment 23, that taken together made for a bit of an awkward programming trend. Both shows have since received an -itchectomy, with the former becoming GCB (by way of “Good Christian Belles”) and Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23, which, depending on how ABC pronounces the PG-rated title, now rhymes.
“On broadcast, it’s not a word you want to use in the title,” Lee said. Misogynist cross-dressing comedies about how men are being emasculated by women in the workforce, however, are still all good! Other highlights from the ABC presentation:
