Since I tend to do most of my broadcast network watching on Hulu, I don't always see the slogans in a timely manner. NBC's "More colorful," in particular, is laughable and sad at the same time. Now it appears we have "So Fox" on our hands. Not sure how long it has been around. I always thought part of the Fox charm, such as it is, is that it goes after the younger demographic without pandering to them the way CW does (and UPN and WB did before that). "So Fox" feels like pandering, and not even good pandering, since I don't hear too many of my students use the phrase "so anything." So (couldn't resist), the slogan is really targeted to people who did use that phrase -- people who were teens in the early '80s -- the valley girls and Spicoli stoners.
Am I wrong about this? Is there a segment of American youth using "so" in this manner? "Like" and "all" seem to be the oversaturated words of choice for the teens I encounter, but not "so." "All Fox" has a nice ring to it, actually. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
