We are the TV
Show notes
Television used to arrive in the living room and leave on a schedule. Now it lives in the hand, asks to be watched all day, and asks regular people to become the programming. Twenty-two years bringing signal into homes — and a wife, three boys, and a Carl Winslow impression that's still running the show. Carl isn't the only character.
Your life is your motion picture. And we're all watching.
