This article attacks this show to the core. IT makes me happy. I like it when people are honest and it sounds like the entire thing is a mess and not just the writing. Some shows are just meant for certain times and certain audiences. Both of these shows are not meant for this time or this current audience. Maybe 40, 50, 60 years ago yes, but not now.
It scares me that someone would think of performing this type of material without thinking of who their audience is and what message they are trying to get across. That is the basis of directing.
