1-Completely agree on the serial drama medium killing movies. For me it was Dexter. No turning back.
2-Also oddly agree on the live TV thing. Especially now that I'm overseas. I just feel disconnected or something otherwise.
3-My boss seriously doesn't watch TV shows. He occasionally goes to movies and watches games at bars. The rest of the time, he's this annoying dynamo that does nothing but read smart-guy books, write his own smart-guy books or articles, refinish his entire house, attend "art crawls" in different DC neighborhoods, or go fly fishing in Patagonia or some crap.
