Can Disney do anything original any more? I admit I did like one exchange (approximate, from memory):
Fairy godmother: Don't you want to meet lots of rich people who can change your life?
Ella: Yes. I was crying and singing about it just two minutes ago.

You know, I just can't bring myself to give a flying Wallenda about Mr. Robot. Endless stretches of pretentious boring dialogue in a big city that appears to be mostly deserted most of the time, and a drug-addled protagonist who's a self-absorbed sociopathic asshole.
I keep waiting for Bobby Ewing to poke his head out of the shower, or for the camera to pull back and show the protagonist in a straitjacket in a padded room with doctors clucking and wondering why he keeps blathering about a "Mr. Robot".
Or perhaps the makers of the show are trying to find out just how long they can lead on and defecate on a sufficiently large audience and have them like it. Please, Ernie Fosselius, do to this show what you did to Apocalypse Now; it desperately needs it.

This show is what happened to The Screen Savers after G4 got its hands on it, taking it from a useful source of computer-related information to a show that had as its high point the shoving of a miniature web server up someone's posterior.
As G4's ratings plummeted, they moved away from their original target audience, gamers, to generic hormone-driven young men, adding eye candy to the staff and a sex advice segment. Now even the gamers who applauded the show initially are turning away in disgust. I look forward to the show's, and the network's, overwhelmingly overdue and well-deserved demise.
UPDATE: O frabjous day! AOTS is over, as is G4 as a whole. In a single lapse into worthwhile viewing, there was a Newhart-style ending with Leo Laporte telling Patrick Norton what a weird dream he had.
