And for folks who wonder why there seem to be so many shows on @cbs where women are dead and mutilated, the answer has always been clear, the place was run by a minsogynst and it filtered down everywhere.

If anyone out there had any doubts about what a person in power can do to a career read this piece by Linda Bloodworth Thomason "People asked me for years, “Where have you been? What happened to you?” Les Moonves happened to me."https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/designing-women-creator-les-moonves-not-all-harassment-is-sexual-1142448?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=THR%27s%20Today%20in%20Entertainment_now_2018-09-12%2007:08:49_wrobinson&utm_term=hollywoodreporter_tie …

Given Moonves's undisputed successful track record, he may have been smart not to do business with Thomason. Maybe her other work sucked. Recent troubling revelations do not negate his track record and programming judgment. LBT is trying to connect the two to explain her failure.

Have you ever watched tv?

I work in television, so yes. Getting the highest ratings are what matter, whether you yourself like the content or not.

This is the 2nd time I’ve read this article by Thomason. I was a teenager in the 8o’s lucky to grown up watching strong characters on Designing Women, Murphy Brown, Cagney/Lacey. Designing Women was so ahead of its time, it was brilliantly written and then it was just gone.
-
Yeah I'm sure she was watching those shows as a teenager.
-
Wi11 is it? I’m lol-ing at your response. I Graduated high school in 1988... my girlfriends & I got together every wk to watch Murphy Brown & Designing Women so not sure ur point. It’s funny tho.
-
Do you want me to look up Neilson data from the 1980s? Or do you propose you represent the norm?
-
Don’t need ya too but thanks Wii. Murphy Brown ran from 88-98 and Designing Women 86-93. Mind blown btw at u being a complete d-bag over my tweet, but you do you.
-
Lol someone really hates Designing Women. Maybe the show rejected their spec script or there was a traumatic childhood interior design incident?
-
Lmao! I know lol. Couldn’t get over the reaction abt what I watched as a teen. Dixie Carter must of scared the sh*t outta him.
-
Don't understand the issue, I graduated in 93 and I watched the crap outta both. Loved me some Sugarbakers!

Wow. You really opened my eyes. I didn't know any of this. I hope he gets what he deserves. We missed some incredible series because of this bastard. How does Julie feel about this? I don't know how she can abide his behavior.
-
Julie screwed Moonves while he was still married to his wife of 25 years. He divorced his wife and married Julie 13 days later. She’s no friend to women. Also, see Janet Jackson.
-
Yeah,
@JulieChen has been complicit the entire time. Fuck her, too.

And this wasn't some neophyte looking for a break. Linda Bloodworth Thomason made millions and millions of dollars for the company Moonves ran.

When someone shoots down your creative work with no constructive criticism or alternative ideas, you know you are in the presence of a weak leader. Unfortunately, so many of us learn this later in life.

Designing Women was the best. Rot, Les Moonves. Rot from the inside in the most painful, incurable, slow way. And that goes for all the rest of you similar creeps!
