The future of TV
Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon has always been one of the most fascinating people in the television industry, and this week, in a guest column for TV Guide, he takes hilarious a look at the future of television:Many people have asked me, "Joss, what is the future of television? What will we watch? And how will we watch it? Surely you must know, for you are wise, and slender." I usually smile and say nothing, because I wasn't actually listening to the question. But it's a good one, and I think it's time I let you in on a few highlights of Television-to-Be.
The networks will all be creating exciting, innovative new spin-offs of today's shows. Approximately 67 percent of all television will be CSI-based, including CSI: Des Moines, CSI: New York but a Different Part than Gary Sinise Is In and NCSI: SVU WKRP, which covers every possible gruesome crime with a groovin' '70s beat.
Oh, and the coolest thing about the piece? We find out he's actually a big fan of Veronica Mars.
