Concerning the future of television:

I found this refreshing after sitting through his disappointingly dry commentary on Serenity.

Is he really the right guy to be taking the piss out of T.V. spin off's?
The man has essentially built his entire career on spin-off's.

Good point.

That was a funny article, though. There's no denying that Whedon can write good lines.

He made one spin-off.

There was certainly more depth to Angel than to the CSI shows, or most spin-offs in general.

although could you count Buffy as a spin-off from the movie? or Serenity a movie spin-off from the series?

I found Whedon really dry as well from the first 20 min. of the commentary before I inevitably turned it off and fell asleep.....as for future of Television, we have episodes avaiable via ipod downloads and TVDVD, I think a lot of cancelled shows will get boosted back on TV ala Futurama and Family Guy, if for some stupid reason Arrested Development dosn't get a new home I wouldn't be surprised if in a year and a half Fox'll go "Oh...wait a second..this is a cgreat show.." and throw it back on their station.

I'd like to see the current measuremment of ratings thrown out and a newer version thought up, give a more accurate representation of what is doing well...
