QUOTABLE: The Upfronts
The broadcast networks have been showing off their "wares" for the '13-14 TV season. Here are some of the more memorable quotes of the week:
“We don’t think the bill has any momentum.”
“Then we have CBS, those smug mother------s. Les Moonves told CNBC that jokes about CBS skewing old are ‘over’. Sorry Les, but those jokes aren’t over til my grandma throws away her Mentalist hemorrhoid donut.”
“NBC is really continuing to double down. They need to be pushing a lot of product to find winners. You can’t run a network on two shows and the Olympics.”
"If you're a little child who wants to be transported to the land of make-believe, there's Fox News."
