What Do The Simple Folk Do?

June 4, 2007 by Anonymous Network Executive

Let me tell you: I was TiVo 1G (that would be TiVo first generation for those of you who aren’t up with the lingo) before most of you knew what TiVo was. I haven’t watched a commercial in years. This makes for some uncomfortable moments during the upfronts, but I can fake it like nobody’s business. “Yeah sure,” I say, “I totally dug that coffee commercial. Made me cry.”

Inside, I’m all, “Sucker.”

Poorly kept insider secret: we don’t watch network television. Not only has TiVo saved our butts, but if you want something, you get a screener. Who has time to sit through all those promos. I mean, who cares what’s coming on next? I mean, it’s gonna get cancelled in a few episodes anyway. Why should I become emotionally involved? If it’s any good, they’ll put it on DVD and I can bum a copy from a friend I know who works at the studio. Why waste my time?

Most of my peers wangled tickets to Cannes. There’s no reason for them to be at Cannes — we get screeners and free tickets, despite our lowly status on the motion picture totem pole — but it’s important to be seen.

Things are a little shaky, schedule-wise, now that Thursday are the new Fridays. It’s common knowledge that you can’t schedule anything on Friday. Now you have to navigate around “doctor’s appointments” and “leaving early because I can” issues on Thursday. Also, you cannot make any sort of solid plans for Mondays. Things happen.
