"This year's crop of new TV shows is so groundbreaking that three of them are spin-offs of existing series, two are rip-offs of long-running English TV programs, and one is based on a comic book. Now that's original thinking. Four of the new shows brag that they "break the fourth wall," which is when the characters speak directly into the camera. Pretty revolutionary stuff here. At least it was when George Burns did it in 1950."
