Are most viewers even aware of TV seasons? Because I wasn't, until I started watching Buffy.
Kaylee: Captain seem a little funny to you at breakfast this morning? Wash: Come on, Kaylee. We all know I'm the funny one.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

I would say that the average viewer thinks that the new season starts in the Fall -- when the TV Guide does that Fall Preview issue.

I was aware of TV seasons from younger than I can remember. New cartoons started at the end of August, and then, to my disgust, they moved them later and later as school started earlier and earlier. I can remember being highly disgruntled by that, but not how old I was.

I think that people who do not have any shows that they would consider "appointment tv" are not as aware of the tv season, when sweeps fall, when the new schedule comes out etc, as those of us who have had appointment tv.

So, um... I've been gone for... a week. Was there a general consensus opinion on the finale? Yay? Nay?
Sorry.

I've seen a lot more Yay than Nay here. Hell, even on TWoP. It could just be that the Yays are more vocal because they have many many fascinating, lovely reasons for loving it, whereas the Nays don't hate it enough to keep on talking about how much they hate it.

I think even if you just watch whatever's on, you still know new shows/episodes start in the fall and finales air in May, more or less. It's just so heavily promoted that it's probably like knowing more or less what the baseball season is, even if you don't watch the sport.

No, we realized that trying to denigrate something others were calling the most perfect thing ever, full of deep metaphorical meaning that touched their hearts was cruel and self-defeating. We went to LJ.

Eh. For me, I disliked it but in a very detached way. I think Angel stopped being my show long enough ago that I can't summon up the energy to go on about what I hated.
Though I am sorely tempted to put in some old DVDs now and remember the love affair.
