Quarterlife: Not the Future of TV
Oh well. Not long ago, there was a lot of burbling that Quarterlife -- a drama developed for the Web and then brought to network TV -- was the future of how television shows would be developed. But, alas, Quarterlife's ratings sucked. On Thursday, NBC gave it the heave-ho, though the show will still be seen on the Bravo cable network.
But it's all kind of a funny thing, no? I mean, if the Web is the exciting new medium and TV is the fading old one -- why is a show being celebrated for moving from the Web to TV? Wouldn't that be like celebrating an early-1950s TV show for moving to radio?
