Something tells me that by "contemporary and relevant" they mean
"appealing to 21-year-old fratboys who masturbate to Internet porn and
pictures of Olivia Munn while downing Red Bulls and Bud Lights."
Which, of course, is the same audience that everyone in cable except
Nickelodeon, Lifetime, Oxygen, WEtv, Bravo, Logo, TVL and Hallmark is
chasing--because it's the audience that watches little if any
television that advertisers will pay premiums for! Wacky.
