What? I'm supposed to actually think?


Dave Ferrara PictureBy Dave Ferrara
It's June.  That month on the calendar when we in our industry try to steal a few hours, days, or weeks to relax and recharge the batteries before we dive back in to production for the new year.  And I've been doing a lot of trying to relax lately.  Doing some reading.  Watching a little TV.  Things I typically do to relax during these lazy days of June...  I just finished the Al Gore book, The Assault on Reason and I have to say, I don't feel all that relaxed.  Also caught the final episode of the Sopranos...After I stopped cursing at my plasma, Time Warner cable, and ultimately David Chase...once again... not so relaxed.  As that revered late-night pundit Stephen Colbert might say..."a wag of the finger" to Mr. Gore and Mr. Chase for challenging my American right to not exercise my brain.  What??? I'm supposed to actually think?...

by Chris Davison, davison@intellcap.com
Dick Askin’s career in television has spanned decades and he’s seen the business from all sides, from local affiliate sales to production to executive leadership. For all intents and purposes, Dick is the public face of television, the man that Emmy viewers see speaking on behalf of the TV Academy and by extension the industry. I recently had a chance to sit down with Dick to discuss Emmys, gladiators, and the future of storytelling.
