He sounded like he supported them back then. But to really support the writers would require a work stoppage. How could he have worked on this?

The part about the hypocrisy charge was a response to this post.

There's nothing wrong in trying to appeal as best you can to your customers but often times when things like television and radio are involved there is an audience for the racier things but the offended part of the population threatens government intervention and lawsuits. FCC content rules are ridiculous, oppressive, stifling to freedom, all that. Yeah, I'm not a fan.

Thanks for the tip. I'll probably check it out at some point in the future. What I would really like to see is some real high profile projects with full length episodes (more than a few minutes at a time--it's not appetizing). Sponsors and/or advertisers are acceptable. I just want to see a move away from traditional television to a place where artists have more creative control.
