And Then There Were None - Network TV sees the end

Well, it sure came quickly and now the arc of network TV is screaming back down to earth. The fodder of scifi movies from the fifties and Arthur C. Clark novels are appearing on the paths of our media choices as we progress down the road of evolution. First Gameboys then wireless phones - to cable tv and debit cards. Now we are in the 3rd phase with PDA cell phones and Internet 2.0 rising from the ashes.And you know what, I kind of like it. With all the cry of decentralization of media power and the democraticization of media publishing, power still resides with the Time Warners and NBC Universals. No, what I'm thrilled about is the exctinction of network TV's glorious sitcom. "Friends" was such a manifestation of vanilla America (not at first but definitely for the last 3 years). Why keep pouring millions of dollars into Ross and Rachel' purse strings. Give us regular educated folk a shot..Okay, so I'm exaggerating a bit, these days why not.
