The television executives at Fox have stooped to an all-time low with this one.   Lookingup

Darnell said he wasn’t concerned about the emotional fallout in a workplace after “Someone’s Gotta Go,” where an employee might be left to work with a colleague they’d just said on national television should be fired.

“Sounds like good reality television,”

Sounds utterly pathetic to me, but I guess it's what the public is drooling for.

"Ooh, will we get to see former friends and coworkers screaming at each other and hating each other?  Will we get to see someone despondent and depressed because they were laid off, maybe even turning to alcohol?  Oh goody goody, I'll get the popcorn!!!"

As reprehensible as it is, people will watch it, and for pretty much the same reason they watch any other reality show: schadenfreude.   TeddyR

God, they'll make a TV show out of anything these days.  I would hate to have seen them during WWII.  Or the Great Plague.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
