Ya think????

Anyway, there's some TV out there that, quality wise at least, rivals great movies. It CAN be done ya know. Good writing, acting, cinematography, and direction, isn't limited just to theatrical releases.

Now TMZ on the other hand.....

Do I have to spell it out?

TV drama, today, that rivals the best films of today? - tinear 22:21:17 12/23/08 (3)
I can't disagree since I don't see all that much. Every time I get some DVD of a well-thought of HBO or other miniseries, I am disappointed. I'm entertained, mind you, but I always feel I could have been watching something better.
NO offense meant. It's my taste. I feel that way about reading, too.

  Also HBO recommended, Band Of Brothers, Deadwood and Rome. These are stories that just can't be told in 1.5-3 hours. Ditto, on Showtime, Dexter, (in three years, has become a classic). Weeds is a hilarious Showtime Black Comedy that can hold its own with some Coen brothers offerings.
  
  The movie going experience is still #1 for me, but for sheer dramatic value, those 5 listed can hold their own with the best of theater presented dramas IMHO.

    B of B I tried for a couple of hours: Schumer (is that the guy's name?) was too lightweight. Never believed a word or action.
    I'll try Dexter. And Rome (I had a classical ed).
    Gracias.

      Make sure to watch at least 5 epis, it really draws one in. It was a shame they didn't renew it for a third season but production costs were huge and viewership was not. Still it ended on a logical note. Some time compression and some literary license of course, especially when Mark Antony and Cleopatra died. The generally accepted real history would have made for a more poignant ending IMHO (Not classically educated, but I can Google).
