If you're speaking of those who make excuses for things wrong in TV, I've always figured they were simply people who are happy to live in TV...even with its flaws.
I agree. Of course, there is some truth to the picture painted by Andrew Blechman in Leisureville but he was only here two weeks or so back around the end of 2005 when King Kong was playing. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/king_kong/ There are swingers in the Villages like Mr. Midnight but he probably represents one in a thousand or even less than that.

The Catholic Church sexual scandal was attempted cover-ups by the very powerful to protect an image. I really do not see anyone trying to cover up the incident on the stage at Sumter Landing with the pair of exhibitionist adulterers nor the existence of Mr. Midnight just that these are not accurate depictions of the life of most in the Villages. Of course, most priests did not commit child abuse but the Morses are not moving Mr. Midnight around the Villages like some pea in a pod like some Catholic Church leaders did with abusive priests.
