Comments on: TV Is Almost Over As We Know It http://www.lordgonchar.com/tv-is-almost-over-as-we-know-it/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:10:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Carrie http://www.lordgonchar.com/tv-is-almost-over-as-we-know-it/comment-page-1/#comment-1744 Carrie Wed, 10 Dec 2008 05:10:17 +0000 http://www.lordgonchar.com/?p=572#comment-1744 "You also seem to be arguing that the content being produced is all crap" I don't think that point was made at all above. The overall point was that TV as we have traditionally known it is almost over. 1) People are consuming television in different ways and 2) People's general entertainment interests have changed, with the lines between things like reality television and internet "stalking" blurring. I don't think there's any denying reality television and talk shows have taken over a large part of the television line-ups, morning into night. Sure, there are still some good shows out there. The question is, how long will they last? “You also seem to be arguing that the content being produced is all crap”

You seem to be arguing two points. The first is that traditional TV consumption as it has existed for decades is dead. I agree, it's getting there. You also seem to be arguing that the content being produced is all crap, and I disagree about that. Fringe alone is TV-bonerific, and 24's return next month even better.
