I think people have a vague sense that the television system is changing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I actually think we should be trying to be rigorous in our thinking about television and the way it enters our lives and shapes the way so many people think.
There are moments when television systems are young and haven't formed properly, and there's room for lots of original stuff. Then things become more and more top-heavy with executives who are trying to guarantee the success of things.
But TV has changed completely. It's not until you come into people's homes that everyone says, 'You're a success now.'
We're in this transition period of figuring out how to deal with all the new technology that is out there, but television still proves to be the granddaddy of them all.
The television business is actually going through a tremendous transition, but I think at the end of the day, television is still paramount.
Ultimately, broadcasters and advertisers have to change the way they do business or they run the risk of linear TV becoming obsolete.
With the advent of cable and such, you guys are calling it the golden age of TV in terms of the writing and stuff. But it's like different branches of a big tree that TV has become.
At a very basic level, I think television exists for game shows, and I think it always will.
It is a significant acknowledgment that the way people are watching television is changing and the model is quickly changing.
I didn't realize that television has gone through immense changes and has become very progressive.
