This is Sam Carchidi’s lede today:

Let’s pretend for the moment that the Flyers are a TV show. If so, they have gone from This Is Us to Two Broke Girls.

From a promising, strongly rated show to one that needs major repairs.

This happens over time in TV land. Shows grow stale. Ratings tumble.

But what makes the Flyers’ situation so rare is that it has been weeks, not years, for the fall to take place.

There’s a lot of different ways we can go with this, but I’ll just point out that it seems Sam’s range in TV shows is rather limited. Also, this is awful.
