“Cahiers du Buffy”: TV Criticism VS. Film Criticism

As annoying as this subject is to discuss—if I get another request to debate “Is TV the New Movies?” I’m going to sweep papers off my desk like a furious lawyer on a CBS procedural—it’s a key question.

I’m glad someone (in this case Emily Nussbaum) has posted a thought-provoking article to react (and counteract) to what I would call the invasion of auteur theory in TVland.

Worth the read.
