“Too Specific” Now Code for “Sucks”

The Hollywood Reporter has a few words from quarterlife co-creator Marshall Herskovitz following his show’s miserable performance the other night on NBC:

“It never should have been a network show. It’s too specific,” Herskovitz told the group at HBS’ Entertainment & Media conference, adding, “It will probably end up on cable.”

Right. Too specific.  A show about a group of 20-somethings living in a major metropolitan center is way too specific for network television.
