It's all too much, and far too late. And I shan't be buying the box set either, so that's another conversation I shan't be able to have.Clairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01914896847679973163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-18694819775249516342009-04-06T18:22:00.000+01:002009-04-06T18:22:00.000+01:00Nice..Blog..Feel free to visit my site..TQNice..Blog..Feel free to visit my site..TQRegeasyhttp://tinyurl.com/dh7nh4noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-58662234900720840112009-04-06T17:21:00.000+01:002009-04-06T17:21:00.000+01:00TT you haven't replied to my email about going to ...TT you haven't replied to my email about going to see Melanie...Jon Peakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04471926651090670258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-28478624197990674292009-04-06T15:52:00.000+01:002009-04-06T15:52:00.000+01:00Have you seen the Media Guardian today?

Certainly the people in my office who watch it seem pleased that it's now on BBC2, as it means more people can join in their conversations. There's no sense of elitism at all.<BR/><BR/>One of the great things about TV (and one that we're in danger of losing, now that fewer and fewer people watch TV shows at the time they're first broadcast) is the 'watercooler effect' - that feeling of coming into work bursting to talk about last night's episode. (With me it's Mad Men at the moment.)<BR/><BR/>That's what makes TV, for me, one of the supreme art forms - it has a 'sharing factor' you don't get with novels or paintings, for instance. If you stop people raving about shows they're passionate about, you kill off what makes TV special.TimThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953081013855148796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21859438.post-45597745211559153422009-04-06T15:10:00.000+01:002009-04-06T15:10:00.000+01:00Very true.

Arrested Development is probably my favourite comedy show of all time (and would easily be my Mastermind subject) but I haven't watched it in over a year. Once something's been praised and watched it's time to move on and find new things to write about.<BR/><BR/>(I would say articles about Mad Man are okay right now because it's still on TV).Dan Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11544340593291117457noreply@blogger.com
