Quit Complaining, Already


Let's say Steven Spielberg gives you a show idea. And full realm to oversee the entire show, without having worked in television before. And then, let's say you decide that you wouldn't even of watched the first season if it were on yourself. Of course, then you'd be, Celebrity Writer, Diablo Cody.

Isn't that kind of comment a little insulting towards the other writers, not to mention the cast and crew of "United States of Tara"? One would think if you've been hired as the showrunner, then it's your responsibility to allow the show to grow and thrive under a steady hand akin to that of running a ship.

It's a shame, because I like "United States of Tara". Toni Collette takes the show into interesting directions as the lead character. But cushioned by other projects on the horizon, its captain might run this show into the ground.
