David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. "Black Donnellys" and enthusiasm in the same story
I wouldn’t think the sentence “‘The Black Donnellys’ are back” would require an exclamation point – a period would suffice, or, perhaps to indicate one’s incomprehension at the notion, a question mark. Nonetheless, it’s an exclamation point on the press release announcing the joyous news that “The Black Donnellys” – the indifferently reviewed and ratings-challenged NBC drama from Paul Haggis – will be available to those who get HDNet.
According to the press release, “‘The Black Donnellys’ quickly became a fan favorite on NBC.” So that explains why it got a quick hook after only six episodes. (I’m starting to doubt the credibility of these press releases…)
Anyway, HDNet head Mark Cuban no doubt figures that the people who loved the show comprise a larger audience than its show "Young Women in Bikinis Riding Around in Nature on Scooters and Giggling" that I saw about five minutes of once might get, so why not? And they’re gonna show the seven episodes that never aired on NBC, so there’s that, too. It’ll resurface Wednesday June 13 at 5, 8 and 11 p.m. PCT.
