A24 4,326 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 The non CBS actor is something worse. An ABC actor. Yeah, but he doesn't strike me as one. In fact, he's Welsh. He was a on a ABC soap for 5 years welsh or not. He was so fey. Yeah, but you are missing the point. He does have an interesting look.Yes, his look and his acting aren't typical for CBS or ABC. He gets BAFTAS for his work in the UK. He's really a good and interesting actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,326 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Steef, even in the last Golden Age of Hollywood (when the lunatics where running the asylum), only a small amount was golden age. There will always be more bad than good. It's Sturgeon's Law: Ninety percent of everything is crud'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I agree.But 4 or 5 top quality shows hardly makes me celebrate a new era for TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,326 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The TV medium has significantly matured in the last 15 years. Most of the best TV shows ever have been created in the last decade and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,326 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Still, while I'm happy with 4 or 5 sublime TV series a year (to me that is already an abundance), one has to wonder why Minority Report looks so silly. If I was Spielberg, I would be ashamed of myself. I would want to compete with the very best out there. I want people to say, "Wow, this is better than Breaking Bad. Spielberg has inaugurated the Diamond Age of television!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Spielberg has never really been a big hit on TV.ER was the most successful show he was involved in, and he didn't do all that much.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 There's not much on TV these days. I miss the days where the best TV shows were Star Trek, Buffy, Sabrina, Stargate, Sliders, Seaquest DSV, Goosebumps, Seinfeld and reaching a bit further back, Columbo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Real Ghostbusters, Count Duckula, Duck Tales, Macgyver, Tales from the Crypt and Freddy's Nightmares.
