Lost and Enhanced TV
February 1, 2008 9:55 am Just some thoughts, Radio and TV BroadcastingI enjoy watching Lost, mainly because so few shows today leave everything so mysterious and suspenseful. Watching Wednesday night’s rebroadcast of the previous season’s final episode treated viewers to something that I predict will become commonplace in the coming years: “enhanced” television, with a crawl along the bottom of the screen providing a running commentary of facts, recaps, internet speculation and teasers for the coming season.
Why haven’t TV networks done this before? With the current writer’s strike in Hollywood I can understand that the writing talent needed to produce that content isn’t available, but once that ends, I would definitely be more inclined to watch an enhanced program.
Which television programs would you like to see enhanced in the same way that Lost was this week?
