I hate April Fools with a fiery passion, but it's become much more enjoyable in recent years, thanks to the lengths websites will go to hoax their audience. Here are some of the better, TV related gags I've seen today, and I'll update if I find any more:
ABC has decided not only to revive some classics ("The shows you've grown up with have grown up too!"), but also updated their current line-up of hit television shows. I can't be the only one who really wishes this T.G.I.F. line-up actually existed...
CBS/TV by the Numbers has decided to skip May upfronts this year, choosing instead to release their 2010 Fall line-up early! I'm looking forward to "How I Met Your Five Mothers and Fathers" (but I am not ok with the elimination of "The Big Bang Theory"!).
Also, Moonves DOES make some good points:
“Since I know what works, and can get people to watch effectively the same show by doing as little as changing the zip code, I’d be an idiot to take a chance on yet another Alex O’Loughlin vehicle...Just like Henry Ford would sell you any color Model T as long as it was black, you can watch any show you want on CBS, as long as it’s a near copy of another CBS show."
It appears that NBC has opted out of April Fools Day, but that's ok - their questionable choices over the past year proves they celebrate it every day but today.
