The Ratings Game -"The Goombas"

This is a fan-favorite sequence from Danny DeVito's directorial debut film, "The Ratings Game," in which Danny's character, Vic DeSalvo is given control of programming the MBC network after he's "fixed" the ratings so his awful sit-com is a smash hit.

I always wished the Goombas would become a regular series.

Nunzio's Girls - An action adventure series about a pimp and his girls.

Hamilton Rogue (aka This Rogue's For Hire) - one part 007, one part Arsene Lupin

The Goombas - Cartoon fun about squids.

Not bad.

"The Ratings Game" aka "The Mogul"

Really funny and ahead of it's time. Humorous concept since back then, a show about a pimp would of been blackballed by studio execs...today a show like that would be a formula for a hit....and who wouldnt love the "Goombas".
