Yes, saving Community and Chuck are two examples. That said, it is kinda like winning the lottery.

Chuck is one of the best shows ever on TV.

I didn’t like season 5, or the buymorons, but everything else was great. Subway sandwiches and a petition saved it.

It wouldn't surprise me if Shooter got the idea from Judd Zulgad...

Here’s some Reckless Speculation: As the Timberwolves continue to conduct a search for Dave Benz’s replacement as play-by-play announcer on Bally Sports North, you have to wonder if Gus Johnson’s name has come up? Johnson did play-by-play for the Wolves for a couple of seasons in the 1990s and is the lead voice for college football and basketball on Fox. The Wolves supposedly want to make a splash with this hire — this will be a theme with owners-in-waiting Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez — and Johnson is a well-known voice. The Wolves also could consider using a few different people to pair with standout analyst Jim Petersen. Would the Wolves put a call into Kevin Harlan to see if he would work a few games? The 62-year-old already has plenty on his plate with NBA duties on TNT and NFL games on CBS, but having the original voice of the Wolves around for even a few games would be considered a splash.
