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. The end of “quarterlife” as we know it
“On Tuesday, the NBC premiere of ‘quarterlife’ marked the network's worst time-period performance in the 10 p.m. hour in at least 17 years, averaging a 1.3 rating/4 share among adults 18 to 49 and 3.1 million viewers. The premiere numbers prompted the show's co-creator Marshall Herskovitz to question the show's transition from online phenomenon to broadcast series.
“‘It never should have been a network show,’ Herskovitz told a group at a Harvard Business School conference Wednesday. ‘It's too specific ... from the first three minutes, I knew it wasn't right.’”
If that’s the case, why did he sell it to them in the first place?
