Same image as on UsefulNotes.Fall Of The Studio System, and I think it works better there than on Horrible Hollywood anyway, as HH focuses on the people of Hollywood and the crumbling sign doesn't really emphasize that. It more suggests decaying Hollywood, than this trope IMO.

As a replacement, maybe something like this from BoJack Horseman?

Why do people always seem to ignore replacement suggestions until the current bad image is pulled?

[up] I don’t see how the Bojack suggestion really gets the trope across unless there’s something in the pic that I’m missing.

[up]The "Hollywoo" sign in the background, the dirty dishes and beat-up Ottoman, and he looks depressed.

I get it, but it might be too subtle.

Definitely too subtle — it's one unhappy looking guy; it doesn't really show the horribleness of Hollywood as a whole.

Edit: and pull too

Agreeing that BoJack is too subtle.

Pull current. While the show itself is a great example, the Bojack image doesn't fit. The burnt ottoman and missing "D" aren't really noticable unless you're looking for them, and otherwise it just looks like a mildly discontent horse man.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

I agree the current should go. Can anyone familiar with BoJack Horseman think of an alternate image from that show? I just searched for "Bojack Horseman Hollywoo" to find my suggestion.

EDIT: Maybe the Season 1 poster? Though that would require a replacement in the Season 1 folder on Recap.Bojack Horseman.

[up]I suggested that for Celebrity is Overrated before and it didn’t fly, but I still think it's a better fit for that as it's still just one unhappy guy compared to Hollywood in general.

I mean, nobody seems to like the current or Bojack. The current should at least be pulled.

I've pulled the current for now, since we have consensus for that.
