Disney After Dark
I believe the Disney-ABC Television Group is missing out on some great opportunities, by limiting their audience with only kids’ programming on their Disney branded channels. Much like The Cartoon Network has their Adult Swim programming block, Disney could benefit from programming aimed at its adult audience but under the Disney brand. Here are my suggestions for the proposed Disney After Dark programming block.

The Women Of Daytime Television
Playboy has been highly successful in selling magazines that follow a certain theme. The Women of Wal-Mart, the Women of McDonalds and the Women Of Starbucks are just a few examples. However, when Playboy approached the various TV networks about doing a Women of Network News pictorial, the parties they were most interested in declined. When discussions began about doing a feature on the Women of Daytime Television, most were skeptical, but a few anxious bodies volunteered for the shoot.
Julie Chen, a co-anchor on CBS’s The Early Show, Kathy Lee Gifford from NBC’s Today Show, Elisabeth Hasselbeck from ABC’s The View and Ellen Degeneres have all taken part in this historic photoshoot.
The staff at Extremely Funny are pleased to be able to offer an exclusive sneek-peek of pictures from the recent shoot.

Going From Ugly To Slutty
Recent reports indicate that ABC is looking at giving at least one show on its Thursday night lineup a bit of face lift. In order to grab hold of the ever elusive 18-35 yr old male market, Ugly Betty will be undergoing some massive changes. Originally based on the Columbian telenovela, “Yo soy Betty, la fea” (”I am Betty, the ugly one“), the new story arcs will be based on the more successful Mexican telenovela, “Yo soy Betty, la puta del fin de semana” (”I am Betty, the weekend whore”).
In the season opener, Betty Suarez (played by America Ferrera) finds herself in the arms of Daniel (played by Eric Mabius) after a night of binge-drinking. Following a passionate night of hot tawdry sex, Daniel mistakingly hands Betty several hundred dollars. Realizing her true potential, Betty decides to continue spending her week working for Meade Publishing, and her weekends sleeping with random men for fists full of cash.
The newly dubbed “Slutty Betty” should begin airing on ABC in September.

Possible Solution To The Writer’s Strike
With the writer’s strike running at a feverish pace, the networks have had to scramble to find programming. Once the current run of reality shows are complete, if the strike hasn’t ended, television executives for the major networks may need to consider other options.
It is only a matter of time until one of these executives has a moment of genuis, and states the following (or at least something close).
“If the old saying that a million monkeys banging on a million typewriters will eventually reproduce the entire works of Shakespeare stands true, a single monkey in front of a PC should at least be able to put together our Tuesday lineup.”
Based on the less then stellar writing I’ve seen on Cavemen, it wouldn’t surprise me if this is something the networks had already been testing.
