TCA tweeters -- Michael Patrick King slaughtered, defense of Two Broke Girls racial humor failing

But about those very hackneyed and stereotype-laden jokes on the show it's all okay because as a gay man he knows about bigotry.

Or so I've read.

Half my Twitter feed is at the Television Critics Association presentations in, what, Pasadena? Anyhow, apparently they had some things to say to MP King he of the Sex and the City. Things.

"The big story of race on our show is so many are represented." - King. No, the big story is your show is racist, period.

Michael Patrick King would like us to "lean in" to his "ballsy" jokes which are "in your face." Because he's "classy dirty." #TCA12

That was one of the most hostile TCA panels I've ever been involved in. Writing it up now. Wow.

"I'm surprised the questions are not about fun." - Michael Patrick King sighs. #BrokenNotBent

And much more. I've been to these events and I've never witnessed this level of back and forth animosity. Go to Twitter and search the show title or #tca12.

Also, follow all these people on Twitter. They're great.

I'll try to come back with a link to Sepinwall's write-up of this panel.

Update: Just go to Sepinwall's home at HitFix.
