Thank you for advertising your new shows at the bottom of the screen. I don't think subtitles in foreign films are important either.

you're welcome
fuck that
Mine would say, I miss you terribly
That pisses me off.
If you are acting as television's emissary then I demand reparations.
Say 100 pixels and a M.U.L.E. ?
At least here it's like that.
it was quite good. all arty and brooding
then i looked on IMDB and found out one of the main actors died in a car crash
i should never have looked. i never would have known
I imagine people in very tiny cars zooming across the bottom of the set, being chased down by producers and camera men.
it always managed to spawn when they were talking in crazy moon languages
i hated it
If "all ups" is slang for "my penis", then yes, I would like to have my all up in Audrey Tautou.

The other day, I was flipping channels, and stopped at NASCAR, and was like, man, I shouldn’t stop here, this is always boring as hell.

yesssssssssss
PS.
programs generate zero income
none
nada
commercials are what pay the bills, so commercials are important
shows? doesn't matter. i can fuck up a show ten ways to sunday, air the wrong show, cut the sound out of a segment, shows segments out of order, come back from a commercial halfway into the segment and as long as all the commercial material aired where and when it was supposed to then awesome no big deal
and while shows themselves are of zero importance, time slots are of utmost import. you can charge 60x more for a primetime slot than an 11am slot. so it only makes sense to take time from unprofitable time positions and maximize profit by stuffing that no-income generating show chock full of ads for shows in big money time slots
your eyes are already intensely locked to that piece of screen real estate
Are these just estimates, is there research, is there some crazy way cable companies can report how many were watching what at what time?
I laughed a good lot at that. The scale was close, and the motion and eye-lines matched exactly.
I never filled them out, so I may be responsible for the cancellation of good shows, and that makes me feel bad.
You ever heard of Nielsen families?
a bunch of people in every market area are given boxes that monitor what they watch, and every month they fill out a survey. this random sample represents the entire viewing public
i will use this opportunity to answer all of your secret television questions
set boxes have been used forever, but not every nielsen volunteer gets one. some families are diary only
i learned a lot about africa
Still, we never filled it out.
