It is more or less what I'm doing in segments as opposed to one show at a time. I debated whether to break it into smaller amounts, but there really isn't a lot you can add to what has already been written about a lot of the shows. I figure apx. one paragraph per series gets the ball rolling and using Hulu as a framework gives me enough room to play while not broadening the scope too far. I mean, I could write about "Man of the People," "The Beat," or "The Steven Banks Show," (I even tried on a small blog site that I've let go by the wayside... see below) but since I was the only one who seemingly watched these shows, let alone recorded them on VHS, there ireally isn't a way for people to agree, disagree, or add his or her thoughts unless I illegally upload the shows onto YouTube. http://tvexperiment.blogspot.com/2006/05/man-of-people.html http://tvexperiment.blogspot.com/2006/06/beat.html http://tvexperiment.blogspot.com/2006/05/steven-banks-show.html -- Kevin M.
