Don't hold Garofalo's feet to the fire; rather David Howard
Aug 13 2009, 6:39 AM EDT
I am more than annoyed by Garofalo's inclusion in season 7. Knowing her character that was almost enough for me to stop watching. But being a loyal fan of the show for 6 years, I endured (won't call it the higher road).I am a conservative leaning independent that is against the destructive forces of American capitalism and the enablers of beaureucratic corruption that is taxing Americans of hard earned funds. I find a government that wants half of your money to be straight-up corrupt. I don't consider myself ignorant for having that view. On the contrary I would argue that someone that is not agains that has a sloppy regard for their own rights. Think about it. If you grow carrots in your garden and the government comes by and says give us half of those carrots, they are ours then is it really a government of the people that the founding fathers (who instituted no income tax) envisioned? How does that value I hold make this issue about there being a black man in the white house? I think it is completely disrespectful of Garofalo to minimize my legitimate concerns and try to "typecast" those like myself. I put that because she thought 'The Truth About Cats And Dogs' typecast her as 'the ugly duckling.' Irony, huh. On a side note, that role did not typecast her, reality did. But Garofalo is unapologetic and that is her right as an American to be unapologetic. Nonetheless, her actions reflect upon the 24 franchise. I do not find it coincidental that she is not in season 8, according to IMDB.com records. You could say that 24 executive producer, David Howard took action in the wake of this controversy. I would say point out that his silence on the matter is cowardly all the same. All he has done is swept this under the rug and said he is moving on. Later on, Garofalo can easily say that she moved on and that 24 never condemned her statements. Do you find this valuable?

To continue:If David Howard truly cared enough about one of his 24 ambassadors/actresses (who get paid well due to your viewership) insulting you then he would make that clear. But he has not. That is why I for one have not only stopped watching the show (that arguably jumped the shark anyways) since the teabagging remarks, but I will not return as a loyal viewer. I would admonish you to do the same. Don't watch and definitely do not buy their merchandise products. As well it would elevate your position to let Fox know this directly: 1-800-369-6848 (Fox Hotline) Do you find this valuable? |

I actually just called it in hopes of leaving Fox a message. But those cowards are not even leaving the answering machine on now. Six months ago, one could do so. Apparently those that are voicing their opinions have already had that effect. But as I said already. You can still make your voice heard in viewership and by not buying 24 products.If you would like to be heard directly though, you can talk to them during business hours or send a postcard to: Peter Liguori President of Entertainment FOX Broadcasting 10201 West Pico Blvd. Building 100, Room 4450 Los Angeles CA 90035 Do you find this valuable? |

I am adding that the 800 number does not take messages but that you can leave messages (like it once did) at: 310-369-3066
