Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I learned a long time ago: You're in the entertainment business. You're not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
Entertainment works by withholding content with the purpose of increasing its value. And, when you think about it, those two are just vastly different approaches, but they can be bridged.
People will pay more to be entertained than educated.
I'm not educated about cinema or genres.
I believe in the paramount importance of entertainment, but I have something to say.
I find that here in the States, audiences are generally less knowledgeable, from the cognitive point of view, though they are emotionally more receptive.
I've actually gotten so I don't associate television with entertainment very much.
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
We know television should educate and inform, and I believe it should entertain.
Youngsters are the most discerning audience. They want entertainment, they want issues.
