    That is absolute nonsense. And I do know this because I worked in the entertainment industry for over 10 years. Did you?

      Ignoring the my-uncle-works-for-microsoft flex for a moment, are you trying to pretend we’re talking about changes that occurred in the last 10 years? Jerry was working in television 35 years ago, and is talking about programmes even prior to that. You probably weren’t even born then.

      It didn’t take long for Lemmy to turn into a carbon copy of reddit, I barely post here and you’re like the third dude in the last day to pull the same sleight of hand by trying to change the argument.

        First of all, I’m almost 47. I watched Seinfeld episodes the day they aired.

        Secondly, focus groups have been a thing for many, many decades. Long before Seinfeld existed. In fact, before television existed.
