Cf. this bit from David Foster Wallace's "E Unibus Pluram -
Television and U.S. Fiction":
"Television does not afford true espial because television is
performance, spectacle, which by definition requires watchers.
We're not voyeurs here at all. We're just viewers. We are the
Audience, megametrically many, though most often we watch alone:
E Unibus Pluram." (A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, 23)
