"Why don't they ever bring back or remake good shows, like 'BJ and the Bear?'"

I think a lot of the drawing power of TV is based on the fact that it lacks a sense of “control” or perceived control, what with the rigid scheduling and structured output of seasons and arcs and so on. There’s something to be said about the longing and wait one must go through in order to finally get to see the season finale/premier of their favorite show. I can’t really argue with the idea that the Internet is a far richer experience, in terms of the amount of information and entertainment it provides, but TV – in its various forms – isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. I find it strange to think that a lot of people are still attached to a seemingly ancient mode of passing along information or just random content, especially considering that the Internet is so widely used and accessible. Broadcast companies do provide webisodes and exclusive content on their websites, but this feels more like a supplement to their normal programming. Episodes are thrown on the web only after their aired on TV, and even then, the streams aren’t perfect and may disappear after a short time. This kind of frustration exists with television, yet less as a deterrent and more as a tease that keeps you coming back for more. I feel like the fact that you have more “control” or a fluid experience with the Internet is in fact true, but this doesn’t mean that TV is less superior, the two just seem to be providing a different experience.
