"TV" -- Now The Term Belongs In Quotes

Keeps getting better and better.

Had not paid attention to 'Hannibal' partly because it's on regular TV (NBC) and I (until now) still refused to watch the boobtoob. However, this new trailer for 'Hannibal' looks so good. With Laurence Fishburne and Mads Mikkelsen -- you can't ignore that.

'Hannibal' has that vibe, that rare quality I look for in movies -- you can watch with the sound off and it's still good, damn good. Promos for cable/internet shows have become very impressive over the past few years and now TV shows are picking up some of that sheen.

So, yes, it's not regular TV anymore -- that term belongs in quotes these days. The networks have to do something before Netflix, HBO, etc., take over the entertainment world and NBC looks to have raised their game.

I still won't watch live because I can't stomach commercials, but I'll get this on disc and enjoy 'Hannibal' the way stories are meant to be consumed -- one episode after another, no interruptions -- sort of like the way you watch movies.
