Network Diana 1 (conventional programming)

The speaker suggests creating a TV series featuring footage of a group of radical goblins called the Ecumenical Liberation Army. They propose including footage of the group committing various crimes and hiring writers to create a story around it. The speaker believes that the American people are feeling disillusioned and angry due to events like Vietnam, Watergate, and economic issues. They want to create shows that express this rage and go against the establishment. The speaker emphasizes the need to improve the network's programming and suggests developing a show about a terrorist group. They expect input from their team and warn about the consequences of not reading audience research reports. Look, we've got a bunch of hot goblin radicals called the Ecumenical Liberation Army who go around taking home movies of themselves robbing banks. Maybe they'll take movies of themselves kidnapping heiresses, hijacking 747s, bombing bridges, assassinating ambassadors. We open each week's segment with that authentic footage. Hire a couple of writers to write some story behind the footage and we've got ourselves a series. Listen, I sent you all a concept analysis report yesterday. Did any of you read it? Apparently not. Anyway, in a nutshell, it says the American people are turning sullen. They've been clobbered on all sides by Vietnam, Watergate, inflation, depression. They've turned off, shut up, and they've fucked themselves limp. The whole world seems to be going nuts and flipping off into space like an abandoned balloon. So this concept analysis report concludes that the American people want somebody to articulate their rage for them. I've been telling you people since I took this job six months ago that I want angry shows. I don't want conventional programming on this network. I want counterculture. I want anti-establishment. Now, I don't want to play butch boss with you people, but when I took over this department, it had the worst programming record in television history. The network hasn't had one show in the top 20. Ever. The network is an industry joke. We'd better start putting together one winner for next September. I want a show developed based on the activities of a terrorist group. Joseph Sullen and his merry band of Bolsheviks. I want ideas from you people. And, by the way, the next time I send an audience research report around, you'd all better read it, or I'll sack the fucking lot of you. Is that clear?
