[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 340056, member: 57984"] The younger generation (aside by the all-too-frequent contempt for "old stuff" that the kids often have in any era) have been brought up on shows with no theme songs and a narrative which is very slick, frenetically-paced, and chock full of plot information -- but not a lot of character information (or if there is character information, it's flung at them at an incredible speed). And certainly quiet moments are virtually unheard of. I mean, how would they be receptive to even the best eras of DALLAS where news of a shooting is seen being conveyed multiple times between multiple characters (because it underscores and reveals the psychologies of those characters). Today, information is communicated somewhat differently, and the old style probably looks "stupid." Oh, well. Things move along.
