This article reminds me of why I don't watch TV anymore.

Jessica St Clair? Who came up with that name? It sounds like a parody of a soap opera star. Hilarious.

And television marches on with new, fresh and interesting ideas. UGH

Here's some help with more original ideas:
A kooky next door neighbor who pops in uninvited
A sexy girl who become the focus of a lot of double entendre
One of the male leads has a really sexy, really stupid girlfriend who bends over a lot
They all work in a big city at drudge jobs, yet manage to live in a breathtaking apartment
The main character is keeping the divorce a secret from his parents
The boss thinks he's gay
The lead has one gay friend and one African American friend - both of whom are the butt of numerous, side-splitting stereotypical jokes - that they find funny too!
The male lead has to prepare for the dating scene again after being out of it for so long
Friends are anxious for the lead character to date again and give him bad advice
The first date finally happens and hilarity ensues - seems he was set up with his ex-wife.
His ex has a new boyfriend that's very successful
He has to babysit for his new girlfriend's three year old
He has a cute dog
let's see have I forgotten anything? Help me out Huffpo readers. I know there are at least 10 more scintillating original ideas with which we can help Hollywood out.

Not that television has a herd mentality or anything of the sort. Divorce is this seasons medical show?

Divorce is the new black! People get married just to get divorced now-a-days media and Hollywood have made it cool. Good thing we don't let gays get married, I mean they might actually stay together and restore marriage and that is not cool.

Peter Marc Jacobsen is gay? Why did his parents name him Peter Marc? That must have been the start of it.

One of those was the plot of "Hope Floats" with Sandra Bullock and Harry Connick, Jr...

They all sound incredibly bad. And they could all share teh same title. Just call them "Bitter, party of one, with a side of sour grapes"

Oh and allowing gays to marry is a threat to the sanctity of marriage.

[liveinhope23]

Actually it's a threat to the sanctity of sanctimony I think.

Hey, look on the bright side. In a few years we'll have stupid TV shows about gay divorce. which, I'm quite sure, will be as interesting and original as the fare noted above. Of course, they'll hire straight actors to play the gay characters.

They all sound pretty stupid, people get paid money for these ideas?

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN
Why American men should boycott American women

http://boycottamericanwomen.blogspot.com/

I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don’t know how to cook or clean, don’t want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?

American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.

This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.

BOYCOTT AMERICAN WOMEN!

I think I can help you. You're not looking for a woman. You're looking for a servant/concubine/brood mare.
It may make your search less frustrating and your posts less sexist and stereotypical.

Unchaste? Seriously?
LOL
