There are many things wrong with broadcast TV. But there are two fixes that could be applied which would greatly improve TV.
Sam Elliott needs to leave FAMILY GUY. He's done fifteen episodes so far, mainly as the Mayor Wild West. He adds nothing to the show and, in fact, his voice over really brings the show down -- he doesn't sound smart and he can't handle comedy.
Equally true, the show has far too many male characters. Southern idiot Wild West adds nothing to the show. In the fifth season of the series, Lois was mayor for one episode. So the writers are aware that women can be mayors.
They really don't need to hire any other male for a voice role until they hire some more women.
Two more who need to be let go? Michael Che and Colin Jost. If they're behind the WEEKEND UPDATE desks next fall, that will be ten years of their being a team. That's far too long. It's not supposed to be geriatric show, it's supposed to pull in a young audience. Che is already 40 and Jost if 41. In the old days of SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, both would've been kicked off the show at that age (to be clear, we just want them kicked off the WEEKEND UPDATE desk). That was considered way too old to be a cast member.
For those who fear we're just calling for people to be let go, here's a call for an addition: COMEDY CENTRAL, stop dicking everyone around and hire Leslie Jones to be the regular host of THE DAILY SHOW.
