The Inferior Medium?

Breaking Bad and the 'inferior medium':

Liel Leibovitz, who admits to not being much of a TV watcher, argues that as good as the medium has gotten, it “does not now, nor will it ever, meet the same sublime depths explored by the great novels. It is, quite simply, essentially inferior”

M. comments:

“Something must always be happening”

If that is his primary critique of television as a medium then his favorite novel must be a stack of blank printer paper, and Office Max would be the greatest book store ever.

I comment:

You can do things on TV you can’t do in a novel, and vice-versa. Making direct comparisons between TV and novels strikes me as silly. It’s an apples-and-minerals kind of argument. Gotta love ‘em both!
