ABC Got Schooled

I guess because a spelling bee documentary and then a feature film seemed to indicate that kids spelling hard words was now some sort of craze. So ABC (being the trend-following wallow-monkey that IS mainstream network TV today) thought they'd score big by telecasting this year's Scripp's National Spelling Bee Finals last Thursday night. They came in third, behind "So You Think You Can Dance" on Fox (what IS America thinking?) and some game shows and a CSI rerun on CBS. It's clear that the Alphabet Network knows how to spell "loser".
