Do Not Disturb creators sorry for perpetrating bad television
Honesty in Hollywood is a rare commodity, so when producers confess their television show is not very good, you've got to give credit where credit's due.According to Variety, the team responsible for Fox's poorly-reviewed new comedy Do Not Disturb sent a letter to select TV critics (uh, where's mine guys?) acknowledging the poor quality of the premiere episode.
But they try to defend themselves by giving those critics a DVD of the second episode, which they claim is the actual pilot and should have aired first.
"We here at Do Not Disturb agree that by airing the 'Work Sex' episode -- before airing the actual pilot -- we created much confusion and we deserve all the criticism, the bad puns (i.e. 'an early checkout from the fall season,' 'Do Not Make in the First Place,' etc.) and, yes, even the accusation that it very well could be the final nail in the multicamera sitcom's coffin," they wrote. The letter goes on to apologize "for being the perpetrators of such bad television."
Good for them for having a sense of humor about it all. But that still won't get me to watch Do Not Disturb.
