I'd even go so far to say that for the first time in its history, it's finally turning into a true art form. Shows like Lost and 24 and Heroes are stories that demand attention from the viewer to really be appreciated, instead of going for the "don't have to think about it" thing that caters to the least common denominator. This kind of arc storytelling is something we only first really saw with Babylon 5 ten years ago. Before that, I guess it could be argued that shows like Twin Peaks laid the foundation for what we have now: shows that were way ahead of their time when they first ran.<br /><br />I can't help but wonder what would have happened if a show like Police Squad had come out today instead of twenty years ago...<br /><br />Good list :-)Chris Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772661137673181295noreply@blogger.com
