Does TRP watch TV? (was: First Leni, Now Stevie)

[Hartwin Alfred Gebhardt]

davemarc, too generous to remember yesterrday's salad, sez:

> This well-received Goldie Hawn vehicle (featuring Michael "Billy Pilgrim"
> Sacks and Ben Johnson) is on a double bill--not with THE BLUE LIGHT (so
> similar to those atop SUGARLAND EXPRESS's police vehicles) or TRIUMPH OF THE
> WILL (so similar that the similarity need not be commented upon) or even
> WOODSTOCK (that unforgettable tribute to statist militarism), but (much more
> puzzlingly) with director Peter Bogdanovich's cut of THE LAST PICTURE SHOW
> (1971), which also featured Johnson. 

Makes you think, doesn't it?

Ok - question: In the Vineland Papers ___ (forgot his name) sez that 
TRP employs researchers. So when Andrew mentioned recently that he 
doesn't watch any TV I thought what if TRP doesn't either? Maybe his 
Vineland rendition of pop culture is based on serious research rather 
than hours in front of the tube? Wouldn't this be more in tune with 
the Pynchon of GR and before?
