#5  Why dont they show life under Saddam? Would it be too horrorific?

#4  Phil: It looks amatuerish because there are no IRL dead Americans. Put a few dead Americans on TV and it just makes the NY Times' day. Then they'll give it rave reviews.

F*cking wankers.

#3  Franchise it to Fox and I will make a point to be in front of the TV to watch just to spite the other networks.

#2  These guys are filming dramatic TV series on location in the middle of a war zone and all the great and holy NYT can say is that they look kind of amateurish?

#1  Speaking of TV Programs...

Since the Hollywood folks have run out of ideas and only to sequels and new editions of old stuff...

Why don't they make an updated Iraqi version of the Rat Patrol? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060018/

I mean, how easy would that be? Plenty of script ideas are around.
