This does come off without the explanation that it's part of marketing for the UK debut of AD like it is bitter and that it ignores his glaring failures. When it has been pointed out, however, that this is really just marketing, it loses all of that edge and comes off as mildly funny.
I still don't get why people are upset. It's a humor piece directed at British audiences.
Oh and
to the news about Titus 2.0.

Bearing in mind that it was cancelled after THREE seasons. Thats pretty good in all.
Fox normally doesn't wait that long.

I'm waiting for his next article. Maybe it will be called "How to Anger People with a Joke"
I can't wait to read that in 6 years!

I understand it's a joke but that doesn't change the fact that he's pretty much blowing himself over AD and knocking the American audience for it's cancellation.
It's like me writing 500 words about how awesome I am but no one gets me. It just comes off as lame.

Right, Mitch. American fans are obviously too stupid to get your absolute genius. Only the Brits understand real comedy. I so hate that mentality, and pretty much guarantees that I will not bother to watch anything he produces, since I'm not smart enough for the material.

And also had enough warning before the end so they could wrap up the main story line.
Now that's more than most shows that have a short run can say.
In all seriousness, I loved this show but come on...did it REALLY need to go on for multiple seasons? I think the length of the series run was just right.
