    Cable Is the New Big Three

    The Big Three networks, ABC, NBC and CBS, used to produce scripted hour-long dramas and half-hour comedies. Now they go cheap and toss out "reality shows" which require no weekly plot, no written script, no characterization at all. And cable gives us The Sopranos, The Wire, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Extras, Ali G, etc.

    Hmm... maybe cable is the new PBS, where we used to watch Masterpiece Theater, Monty Python, The Prisoner, Rock Follies, Adrian Mole, etc?
