In which I worry about 'Glee'
I think Glee is in trouble.
Not to offend all you Gleeks out there, because I consider myself a major fan of the series, but something is just...off about the first two episodes back. I cannot put my finger on it. Is it the long lay-off between the first 13 episodes and the back nine? Is it the overwhelming sense that the series has been overhyped during that period? Not really, because I expected that.

What's the future of serialization on broadcast TV?
I've talked a lot about serialization here on the blog, and it's just as popular elsewhere (check out a nice post from Myles McNutt on Justified), partially because it's the end of two major serial powerhouses in Lost and 24 and also because I think people just love talking about it. So why not continue that discussion?
Today: what to expect from serialization on the broadcast networks.

Catching up on DVD -- What changes?
One of the best TV critics around, Myles McNutt, has a poll up on his web site right now that will help him choose what series to catch up on via DVD here in the coming months.
Obviously, DVD has done wonders for television viewers. We can wait until a entire season -- or series -- ends before watching. And of course, that also allows us to avoid both the long wait between episodes and commercials. Even more benefits certainly exist.
But what happens to our enjoyment of the season, series or even individual episodes when we catch up later on DVD?

Twitter and TV viewing: Pay attention to me!
In the last week, a couple of stories have been written about the growing use of Twitter during live television events and the interactive culture created by it.
So obviously, people have taken to Twitter to talking about, which allowed me to find the articles.
