In a fragmented world, aggolomeration earns a higher price per unit (though a smaller total amount because of smaller audience size) than it used to.

It's interesting and perhaps revelatory that at the same time that the quasi-evolutionary narrative of an actor's career (soaps --> TV --> movies) has become scrambled so has the quasi-evolutionary narrative of how the average person uses the internet. Back in the day, it was "AOL--> another ISP without the walled garden --> broadband." Now AOL is getting out of that business and the trajectory is up for grabs. Do you see the similarity? Best, Brad Hi Grant,

There are a couple other things, you've sort of noted that the consumer is controlling shows, true. We are enjoying smart tv. Plus, actors want to act. And what a way to constantly exercise than by a weekly tv show! And...it used to be that for a while some actors started out in tv. there was an idea, start in soap opera(Demi Moore, Kathleen Turner) "advance" to movies. Not any more. Tv is awesome. And...there is another reward...the strange concept of being a peoples actor, as well as an actors actor. popularity and mass audience with a huge tv show only competes with blockbuster movies for the sense of working for the people by the people. I am really looking forward to following these new tv shows.(already a bog fan of The Closer) Now getting a tv show is as fancy a cache as a blockbuster movie or a Cronenberg film.
