The old "all TV is crap" sentiment is out-of-date and out-of-touch.Recent stuff like the Arabian Nights miniseries, for example, which are as fully realized as anything on a movie screen, and which have the luxury of spreading out over several hours over a few days, demonstrates that TV has a unique niche to fill in film. 24, one of the best shows I've seen ever, takes the miniseries concept even further, carrying one unbroken story arc over an entire season, and can achieve a level of depth a movie never could.Right now, there is an unusually large number of top-notch film work being done on TV. Shows like Alias or 24 or Enterprise or Law & Order (any of them) or CSI, or heck, Gilmore Girls (well-written and the mom is gorgeous) deserve to be referred to as film simply because they have transcended the sludge TV used to be. Ah, jeez, nobody's gonna read this anyway... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
