Eating is such a waste of time.
Why isn't television studied in schools as literature yet? It should be just as respectable a genre at some point in history as written literature or film. It certainly contains acting and writing on a level with motion pictures. Not as a rule, but individual shows and individual episodes of shows can be brilliant things to study within their own contexts. I don't even watch TV except on DVD, and I can see this.
I guess that's what fandom's for. No one gets credit, but things get analyzed properly, and criticism gets expanded upon, and the universe of discourse explodes.
