I found this story on Digg pointing out how many shows actually just rip off other shows that are already on TV or have been on TV in the past.  To me this seems like such a lame idea for writers to fall back on.  Sure if they are going to revive an old show and bring it back to its former glory that is OK.  But not to just rip off an old show and hope that no one notices - LAME!  I think there is so much going on in the world that there is just tons of fresh content everyday and that hollywood is just being lazy and going for the lowest common denominator because they know that is what works.  Why not be bold?!  take some chances, some of the shows will sucks, but others will be really great and change televsion forever.  That is sure to at least keep us watching...
