I wonder what the initial reaction from the decision-makers was when someone came up with the idea of dropping the pretense of providing entertainment and just creating a TV network to sell stuff? What’s amazing and also frightening is that these networks continue to thrive and have even generated their own satirical spin-off, the Home Purchasing Club. In this episode they’re hawking collectible plates that depict memorable scenes from life’s precious moments. Warning: this may not be safe for work.
