In the olden days, back before television and sexting, there were books, and I’m sure some kind of note delivery service for hand drawn pictures of penises. The “television” of the olden days was plays and musicals. Books and live theater used to be equals, both regarded with the same highbrow approval. Today, plays even surpass books in their eliteness. Why is this? Take the camera away from any episode of Full House and what does it become? A play, a story acted out in front of a live studio audience. And yet, television is still the red headed step child of entertainment. Is this because you are around other people and you can’t, or shouldn’t, get away with not wearing any pants? You can read with no pants and it is just as solitary, if not more so, than watching television.
A good book really only needs one thing, good writing. That’s all that’s in a book, words. You just need one person and a good editor probably, maybe even a team of editors, and that there’s a book. A good television show needs so much more than that. Take The Wire, a show that many argue is one of the best television shows of all time. And yes, it is a good television show because of the good writing, but also because of everything else that goes into making a show; acting, production quality, marketing, Kraft service, etc. And still, these people don’t get the same respect as “real” writers. An Emmy ain’t no Nobel Prize.
