From the article:

A favorite show is a tip-off to personality, taste and sophistication the way music was before it became virtually free and consumed as much by individual song as artist. Dramas have become more complicated; many of the best are serialized and require time and sequential viewing. If anything, television has become closer to literature, inspiring something similar to those fellowships that form over which authors people say they would take to the proverbial desert island.

I would basically agree. You watch what you like, just like you wear what you like and your home is basically furnished they way you like it. I would not say this is a great revelation as most people have been judging their fellow man on his lifestyle for thousands of years... :lol:

It most likely says that you want more depth and involvement from your film experiences than TV's superficiality can give you. It means that you are most likely a very intelligent person. Anything I say beyond this would just be spitting into the wind.
