The children are our future,

including the future of our media: Wonder Where All The Assistants Were?, Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood.

Some observant comments:

Wow! Look at all the minorities! Why aren’t there any white male assistants? Someone really needs to do something about this, guess they just can’t find any. Oh wait, there’s one, there’s another, oh, the tint on my screen was on. The number of blacks in the oval office is equal to the number of blacks in this photo.

We need one black one, an asian, a white one, a persian, filipino, ok one more white guy, uh, a latino, a light skinned brotha, move along people, leave no empty seats, women please take the back seats, we’re on a tight schedule…

Even Rockville CA is better than the fictional account of this industry subset: The Assistants. At least Josh Schwartz's characters have pigmentation in their eyes and hair, if not in their skin.

"What's up, vaginas?"

I've been watching Rockville CA on TheWB.com over the past few days, and the commercial above is accurate. The commercial is also almost as long as each episode.

My thoughts on the series so far:

• How could Aiden play a dumber role than he did on South of Nowhere? I didn't think that was humanly possible.



• When did Dan move to California? Oh, that's not Dan? Is that Adam Brody? No, I was mistaken: in this show, the self-referential, adorkable, dark-haired, pale-skinned gentleman who bears a remarkable resemblance to creator Josh Schwartz is named "Hunter." He is completely different that the other two doppelgängers.



• Just because you can use salty language (at 1:30) on the interwebs that you cannot use on network television does not mean that it will add to your program's humor or quality. For advice on including cursing in jokes, please see Jim Gaffigan.



• The only nonwhite person in the show is the well-read bouncer? Really, TheWB.com?
