Los Angeles people are incapable of passively mainlining TV and movies. Here you have to read who produced or directed every episode, who wrote it, who had guests shots and whether you know them personally and if they like you. You have to figure out who everybody's agent is and whether yours is better.

So while the rest of the country is lying stupid in a media-induced coma, people in L.A. are in constant withdrawal.
