>The generation I think of myself as part of was raised on television — which means that, at least I was raised to view television as more or less my main kind of artistic snorkel to the universe. And I think television, which is a commercial art that’s a lot of fun, that requires very little of the recipient of the art … affects what people are looking for in various kinds of art.>Commercial entertainment — its efficiency, its sheer ability to deliver pleasure in large doses — changes people’s relationship to art and entertainment, it changes what an audience is looking for.>It would be one thing if everybody was absolutely delighted watching TV 24/7. But we have, as a culture, not only an enormous daily watching rate but we also have a tremendous cultural contempt for TV… Now TV that makes fun of TV is itself popular TV. There’s a way in which we who are watching a whole lot are also aware that we’re missing something — that there’s something else, there’s something more.Was he right?

>>219363194As opposed to… everyone else who is also the exact same?
>>219363167Yes. He has a few points.1. TV affects how people consume entertainment. That's no longer news in our time. The Tiktok generation isn't too keen on films because films are 90+ minutes.2. People like to feel superior to something, anything. So liking TV that makes fun of TV is something people enjoy. Liking drama content that makes fun of content creators, etc. 3. The fact that people would rather spend time consuming something wholly negative - media that makes fun of other media for instance - is symptomatic of a people that are bored and unoccupied. That's the "something more" people lack. The problem is humans will always lack that "something more". It's what led our fish ancestors out of the ocean, and our human ancestors out of africa, and the 2026 man away from vanilla porn. The best thing one can do is good work, and being kind as much as possible.

he was right. i don't think people view television as art anymore though, maybe on the high level series like true detective or sopranos to a degree, but, i think people have mostly separated tv out for what it is.
