We're just dealing with the kind of warp and woof of television ratings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I honestly believe that TV generally is obsessed with the ratings battle to the point of cutting its own throat.
What I didn't want to do is get into a ratings race with television because really, for them, it matters. For me, it doesn't.
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.
I mean, all the ratings wars are silly. But, I mean, someone has to be concerned about the ratings because it means, you know, it translates into revenue.
Let's be real: It's just TV; it's just entertainment.
The gap between film and TV is narrowing, and that's great for us all.
In my mind, everything is too sanitised on television - what is wrong with things going wrong?
TV producers want ratings and are willing to do nearly anything to get them. They gin up artificial conflicts and create an urgency for even the most minor of economic data points.
I think people have a vague sense that the television system is changing.
There is something supremely reassuring about television; the worst is always yet to come.
