Tribune Company and 2 Broke Girls
Tribune Company
The Tribune Company owns multiple radio stations, television networks and publications among other investments. They own large publications like the Las Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune.
After a Sam Zell led a buy-out in 2007, the billionaire left the company with more than $8 million in debt. Tribune Company filed for bankruptcy in 2008 as a consequence to the buy-out. The company agreed to pay $7 million to the Internal Revenue Service this month after allegations that the leveraged buy-out violated tax laws.
The company currently awaits a decision from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Kevin J. Carey to pick one of two restructuring plans to bring the company out of bankruptcy. The Delaware judge approved bonuses for the management of the Tribune Company, about 640 employees, that can be anywhere from $16 million to $42 million dollars. The reward only happens if the company hits a certain financial target. A strange move for a business that is broke.
I don’t understand how this company goes from being successful to bankrupt in a matter of a year. It seems odd. I wonder if there are any criminal charges filed because it seems like something else is very wrong with this situation.
2 Broke Girls
The show is still doing well and CBS signed for the rest of the season. A bond is forming with Max and Caroline that makes the characters seem more realistic. In the last episode, the girls break into Caroline’s old house to get her night guard. When Max sees the life Caroline was forced to give up, she forms a new opinion of Caroline.
While they are in the house, Max forms a relationship with the spa bathtub in Caroline’s bathroom which is funnier than it sounds. The girls decide to take some of Caroline’s designer clothes to sell for the business…smart move. But when Max sounds the alarm in the furs the girls have to high-tail it out of the house. Then they use some cash found in a purse to go to Caroline’s favorite sushi restaurant, which the girls underestimate the cost and are forced to pay with some of the clothes.
My only criticism at this point is the characters in the diner. I personally do not like the cook, Oleg, and the owner. The two characters just don’t seem to fit. I think the writers need to phase both characters out and replace them with better known actors or at least actors who are more likable.
