Just because I'm curious...

Imagine that you meet someone who has never seen television before. You want to show the person how brilliant TV can be.

[Poll #1014562]

Whoa... it would have to be something slower paced, no action adventure, with a scene continuity someone with television experience might not need. It would be similar to showing someone the net for the first time. Where you or I can move about the net and take things in at a glance because of our experience, someone new to the net finds this infinitely confusing to watch. So... I think an 'oldie but goodie' would be appropriate. More talk, less camera jump, less calling on assumptions based on experience. But, what? *pulls hair* Good poll!

Yeah, you're right that it would be similar to showing someone the Internet for the first time.

I was thinking about this for a while, and I still can't make up my mind what I'd choose. It's a very hard choice, because there are a lot of different TV shows that are great for quite different reasons.

I think I'd probably end up making the person watch many many hours! :)
