A&E TV Programs That Never Happened: There But For the Grace of... Edition

A&E TV Programs That Were Never Produced: There But For the Grace of... Edition



With "Growing up Gotti" soon to air, LasagnaFarm wanted to remind its readers that things could be worse. Don't get us wrong, we of course will watch any lukewarm crap that passes before us on the Trinitron, if only for its narco-electronic effects on our toasted, suburban cerebellum (Jonathan Antin's "Blow Out" had us rooting for Kimberly like Cubs fans after a 72 oz. porterhouse). But, this particular show, airing on the (ahem) ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK, which seems to have liquidated its highbrow content as if it were a pair of Beverly Sills' vomit-stained Jimmy Choos, cuts a bit too close to the Farm's roots. Of course, our Trans Am was not as nice as the J. Gotti Grandkids' beemers, and our Z. Cavs were no certainly no match for their Mavis and Ted Bakers, but nonetheless, it's like looking through a glass, darkly. But that's our own damn problem. Like I said, for y'all, it could be worse.
