>Valerie’s new show, *How’s That?!,* openly celebrates its back-to-basics concept, with a live studio audience, catchphrases, hokey jokes. Even legendary sitcom director James Burrows, who worked with Kudrow on *Friends* and has appeared as himself in each season of the *The Comeback*, is on board to make the pilot. The only thing missing from *How’s That?!* are writers. Instead, an AI program spits out corny scripts in hours — not weeks — because NuNet wants to create a show that is *just* engaging enough for people to “leave on while they’re doing… whatever,” as one network employee puts it. The goal isn’t to make something great but make something “good enough.”
Haikouden on
I hadn’t heard of the show till today and nearly commented with something more negative until I read a bit of the article and it mentioned it being a satire lol, phew.
I really hope it’s not an accurate prediction but also South Park did it first with IIRC a dolphin that selects balls with words on them? Or was that just for a concept.
