[QUOTE="payn, post: 8909260, member: 90374"] Some good observations and experiences here. I think the bombardment doesn't help either. Take The Last of Us, a lot of folks are saying, "more zombies?" or Tulsa King "more mobsters?" or even Yellowstone "more westerns?". These genres seem to come and go in their popularity. Its the real revolutionary shows that make a difference like The Sopranos which you then see disseminated into all the other shows and genres. There is only so many ways to skin a cat, and folks attention is fickle. Now 20 years ago, network TV was king. Folks didn't have streaming and on demand. They had to settle for appointment TV which consolidated their experiences and also limited them. It was much easier to talk about shows because there was fewer of them, and notice the innovations among them because they were more unique. Its very difficult to reach that aggregate, but it still happens. How to capitalize on it when it does is the million dollar question. Podcast? Talking Dead/Bad/Etc... Twitter? Is it crucial and something should be done about it? I suppose being able to measure ratings and keep good things going is ideal. Does it make entertainment better? This is something I don't necessarily agree with. I think entertainment now is better than it has ever been. A real golden age of television/stream. Never has their been this much variety in genre and quality due to competition. Entertainment has changed and folks just are not sure what to think of it. The default often is that its worse because folks just don't like change. "The only constant in life is change" -Bob Dylan exactly. [/QUOTE]
