About a year or so ago the pilot for a new incarnation of the cop show "Dragnet" aired on fox. I honestly don't watch that much television, but from what I can gather the show has been cancelled since I NEVER see any commercials or anything for it. In fact I wonder if it got past the first episode.
Now why the hell am I bringing up Dragnet? Well, if anyone DID catch the first episode you'd know that it revolved around Armenians. As described by one of the characters "They came off the boat killing," and was all about Armenian gangs springing up all over L.A., with the main bad guy in this episode named "Karp" (Short for Karapet I'd imagine). Anyway, the show wasn't that great, or even that accurate (I don't see too many Armenians with blue hair and pierced up the wazoo...) but I was wondering if maybe the show got cancelled because negative reaction by the Armenian community.
EDIT: There WAS a backlash aparently, here's the link: http://adl.hayway.org/default_zone/g.../page3258.html
