Movies and TV Intersect (and Shameless Plug III)
Time was you could tell movies from TV shows. Movies had big budgets, big effects, and big stars, whereas TV focused on smaller stories and ongoing character development. But in recent years TV has caught up, at least in the realm of narrative ambition and production values, as evidenced by shows like Lost, Smallville, Battlestar Galactica, and the CSI franchise. For the latest evidence, check out NBC's big breakout hit, Heroes, and the work of the Emmy-nominated director who shaped it and other recent feature-caliber TV series like Revelations and American Dreams.
