You can always count on America to pathetically rip off itself. I stumbled across an episode of "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" on TV the other day. Creatively titled Two Guys, a Girl and a Softball Team, it was the episode where they start a softball team.
Near the end of the half-hour, before the inevitable denouement back at the pizza place, the show climaxed with a spoof of the ending of The Natural. It was disturbing. Luckily, I continued flipping and came across the actual ending of The Natural. It was good. For once, cable television had redeemed itself.
