What's wrong with television is that more people don't stop watching it. It is somehow inconceivable that one does not turn it on. And thus, the programming works with the clear understanding that television will be watched, even with the internet as a rival. Early television had to draw people to buy the devices, turn them on. These questions no longer matter, and yet the shows are so much like early television, ironically because they are cheap and easy. People will watch so much drama always, as if they were staring at the logs on the fire. Where is the sense of competition?
