Exposed to a bunch of Heroes
My wife is interested in us buying a Digital TV. To the point where I spent the money on Consumer Reports. For me I am not overly happy with HDTV. My status as a bell head luddite is assured.
I think that I get headaches from walking into the show room and looking at all these things next to each other. My wife assures me that I will not feel the same when we have one.
At the store all I see is Heros everywhere. Its a good show, but I am asking myself how was it chosen over every other show. Its not just in one franchise either.
Is this a ratings rationale? A demographic? What makes it the visual of choice? My head hurts thinking about this.
She has also been suffering from a rise in size. She started with 22" than 27" and now is talking about 47". And this is for our bedroom! I think its going to block my pathway to my side of the bed. But she says it's a Flat panel so it will not be a problem, (she has not asked for a wall mount yet).
I am going to take an aspirin and lay down. But I am not going to watch TV.
