Subject: A Few Random Thoughts From The Road
2) A request of some of the broadcast network(s): please stop making shows 61, 62, and 63 minutes long. It messes up the ease of "season passes" for the consumer. I still get the other content. It's just harder and annoying. At least when NBC was supersizing Thursday programs, they were giving you substantively more content. It's a trick that in the long run will alienate the consumer.
3) What happened to "24"? What used to be one of the best and most anticipated hours of TV is now kind of a self-parody. It's fallen from my must-see list to the if-I-have-time list. "Heroes" is much more interesting.
