PITTSBURGH - ABC cancelled production of the Pittsburgh-based comedy 'Downward Dog' today, ending a short-lived run. Although human fans of the show were disappointed, one cat was not.
Pepper, a free-roaming cat who frequently annoyed Martin, exulted in the news today. "He must have sniffed a lot of rear ends to even get on TV," the tabby said today. "I knew he couldn't carry an entire show. He's just not that interesting. He sleeps 14 hours a day and is proud of that."
"He thinks he's one of the great minds of his generation, but he was too dopey to realize they didn't even put him on until summer," Pepper said. "That's when networks burn off shows. Personally, I think ABC made a mistake from the get-go by making a dog the star of a show instead of a more superior creature like me."
Martin declined comment about Pepper's remarks, and would only repeat his view that Pepper is a terrorist. Martin's agent said the dog hopes to be adopted into one of the 'This Is Us' families so he can stay in Pittsburgh.
