Can anyone explain what has happened to quality writing on tv these days?

I had a moment exactly like this when I was about 11 years old. Thankfully, that was long before YouTube.

About a week ago The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet did a story about binge drinking when they suddenly cut to this:

The cat eating spaghetti from The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet

Well it seems that the strange picture was actually a “bleep photo” used as a cut-to when someone says something that’s deemed inappropriate for tv. A spokesperson for Fox told Media Bistro that viewers could expect a lot more of these bizarre “bleep photos” in the future on broadcast tv.

Media Bistro’s reply:

That isn’t distracting. That isn’t trivializing for a news show. They’re literally going to have dancing monkeys in lieu of a curse word – a cross word – a word?! The future just got a lot dimmer…and suddenly it looks a lot like LOLcats.

I couldn’t agree more. I don’t see how random cuts to strange images are any better than an actual bleep, a cut to black, or just letting the precious virgin ears of America hear a dirty word! I can only hope that it was a mistake and now this story they’ve given is their way of covering up their glitch.

And a clip from tonight’s episode of The Soup
