I Like to Watch

"Mad Men" leads a midsummer night's dream of new cable dramas -- but "John From Cincinnati" wipes out! Plus: Do Emmy voters watch TV?

    John From Cincinnati is not high art.

    It's crap.

    It's obvious and tedious crap. The ridiculous dialogue is a masquerade for a random, simplistic and obvious set of contrivances that drive a story that is going nowhere. You might as well put a picture of a pile of dog shit on the screen with some horribly delivered dialogue over it. People love to think they are so intelligent by making something out to be more than it is and then saying they have discovered the truth of it all. This show is not that smart.
