ABC Axes Garofalo Show

Janeane Garofalo spent the first half of 2003 publicly criticizing American attitudes in general and the Bush administration policies in particular. At the same time, ABC television was doing preparatory work to start filming a new sitcom with Garofalo as the star.

Her frequent public pronouncements attacking America, along with the President, alienated the 70% of the population that believe in America and support the current administration. Ms. Garofalo had angered the viewing public to the extent that their anger was expressed to ABC television, who canceled her sitcom. Fittingly, she was informed of the cancellation just before she was to leave for the airport to go on location to film the first episode.

Garofalo Gets Her Wish is a detailed overview of her troubles by Shayne Winslow reporting for hollywoodhalfwits.com.

It should be noted that her inability to perceive reality prevents her from understanding that she is the cause of her problems. She blames everybody but herself.
