I’ve been watching a good deal more TV than usual. This could have something to do with the return of AMC’s The Walking Dead, or my discovery of MeTV with its five-nights-a-week Dick Van Dyke Show, or perhaps it’s plain ol’ laziness induced by the onset of cold Chicago weather…but we’ll ignore the latter. In any case, watching so much TV—and feeling heartily guilty about it—has got me thinking a lot about the act of watching, the cheapest form of voyeurism that basic cable sustains. In that vein, our #fridayreads will involve writing on the topic of television.
