In thinking about whether video games can be art, I have a question. Has any TV been art? Another question: has there been any TV show which will be timeless - still relevant and worth watching decades from now? The TV equivalent of 12 Angry Men, or the 7th Seal, or even The Philadelphia Story?
I suspect Six Feet Under may qualify, and possibly Seinfeld and I Love Lucy. And in television you can tell stories of a novelic scope, where multiple characters develop over multiple arcs over years, instead of a single character arc that a movie or short story can tell.
Are my predictions right? Do you have other suggestions? Ah, if only I had more than 2 readers.
