A girl sits down with her grandmother. Girl: Tell me about the time when everyone watched the same program at the same time and would talk about it the next day.
Actually they still talk about it. I am often amazed at how more or less normal adults get into some of these series, especially the really stupid ones like “Under the Dome”. I have one friend who complained weekly about the lame plot but he kept watching it faithfully every week. I must be kind of strange, I don’t watch stuff I don’t like and I prefer stories with people that I might like and respect. There is enough tragedy in the world without inventing more. I find Criminal Minds depressing. Code Black is probably well done but I have seen enough of that in real life.
