Recently, truTV has had HUGE success with "Impractical Jokers" and it seems like they're following a certain trend that other networks such as AMC, USA, showtime, starz, etc have done. This "trend" (for lack of a better word) occurs when these networks strike gold with a hugely popular show like the aforementioned Impractical Jokers, or in AMC's case Breaking Bad, once they have tons of viewers tuning in to see the popular show, suddenly there are a bunch of other shows being produced which are almost always boring, bland, blatant attempts to further cash in on the success and ratings that the network is getting because of the successful cash-cow show. In truTV's case these pointless shows include I'm Sorry, Comedy Knockout, The Carbonaro Effect, Adam Ruins Everything, and I'm sure there are AT LEAST a couple others... but the running trend is that they're all mediocre, forced comedy that just doesn't work.
