For years
it seemed people looked down their noses at those of us who not only liked
television, but loved it. Film goers seemed to convey the belief that movies
were simply better and TV was playing to the common denominator. While we
couldn’t always justify some of our viewing habits, we always stood by the firm
conviction that there was just us much good to be found on the small screen as
their was in a theater.
Now as more
and more mega-stars make their move to series regulars, former movie snobs are
finally willing to concede that they do, in fact, watch TV. It’s hard to argue
that there’s nothing worth tuning in to when you’ve got Oscar-winning directors
like Martin Scorsese steering Boardwalk
Empire and Anjelica Houston starring on Smash.
And while they’re participation doesn’t guarantee quality, it’s made it okay
for people to justify that they are watching.
