Interesting episode. You know I love talking about all this cultural shit (can I swear on this? - well I just did). Another thing to factor in is habit. People can get out of the habit of going out to a theatre. I suspect this is the cause of the greatest cultural changes. Hello Rachel and Jamie!
Steve

My family cut way back on movie theater visits back when bedbugs became a big thing in NYC, and I don't miss it except for "big" movies (Star Wars, superhero--the spectacle stuff). When I think "made for TV" I think of something that isn't really a movie but definitely was an event--Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, with Julie Andrews. My family did not have a color TV until I was in high school.... which was also the first time we had more than one TV. (And now we, too, have more TVs than people!) Spectrum just did a new season of "Mad About You"! I think in a way we have come full circle from the old movie serials (with their literal cliff hangers) to season/series arcs. New TV is now back to almost the oldest movie form. And of course, it's really an American issue, to the extent it's an issue. The Brits, for instance, are much more casual about "different" forms than the US--their actors have always gone back and forth between stage and different sized screens. (Hi, Steve!)
