I have got to stop letting this stuff annoy me

From an article posted on The Hollywood Reporter:

I laugh less at Sorkin's witty banter than I do at the thought that viewers in Peoria are futilely looking up jargon in the dictionary such as "upfront" and "demo" in an attempt to understand the dialogue.


Sigh. My parents live in Peoria, and I can assure you they know what an 'upfront' and a 'demo' is. Sheesh, what arrogance.

    And also, just from a writing standpoint, isn't it a little "1950's" to reference Peoria?

    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

    What nerve to think that anyone who doesn't live in Los Angeles or New York couldn't understand or enjoy this great show!

    My friends in Omaha love it and they have a barn!
