You're really going to love it

"You must watch this," devotees say. "You're really going to love it." With the unspoken threat being: "And if you don't, you are an idiot. I will still acknowledge you in public, but in my heart I will know that you are an anti-intellectual vulgarian."Covert Affairs Season 1 DVD Box set

We've been told that we're living in a new golden age of television, and suddenly we're expected not only to watch but to read essays, think about, and discuss one-hour nighttime dramas like "Desperate Housewives" and "Dollhouse." Watching these shows is like joining the Masons,Supernatural Season 6 DVD Box Set requiring the memorization of arcane trivia, the parsing of cryptic plot twists and near-fanatical loyalty. We can't just watch these shows -- we must be devoted to them in the same way that John Hinckley was devoted to Jodie Foster. But the DVD box set is the worst way to worship. For committed fans, they're easy-to-use video scrapbooks that let you revisit your favorite scenes of Jeremy Piven walking quickly and cursing on "Entourage." As a gateway drug to initiate virgin viewers, all that box sets do is proclaim that the emperor has no clothes. Drop Dead Diva Seasons 1-2 DVD Set
