Empire is the hottest network new drama in years.
Any of you watching it?
RE: Empire - BigTigerMike - 03-13-2015 10:24 PM
Black version of 'Dynasty' as the producers and actors called it. Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard outstanding acting is leading the way into making it a huge success. I read that Memphis is second as far as ratings go in the number of people in a particular city that is following it

Don't have time to sit around and watch tv.

That's why people have video on demand, nexflix and other alternative media platforms

Yeah precisely. We DVR our favorite shows and watch some On Demand....it's hard to make time to watch them live.

I had low expectations going in, but I'm hooked. It's a weird, rare blend of intelligence and ig'nance.

I'm an old white woman and really like it! It doesn't get bogged down in details! Ish happens and they move on!
Cookie is my gal!! The actress that plays her is Outstanding.
They're like the Ewings......everyone has a big important title, a big important job, fabulously wealthy, involved in major intrigue, danger&money around every corner and no one ever seems to actually work!! (except be in meetings)<----corporate America has you believe that IS work.
I like It!!

I post using Tapatalk from my phone. I can't tell you the last time I logged on from my desktop.
Usually when I hear the word Empire it has to do with Star Wars. ....That's why I opened the thread.

my point is that those people who have other alternative platforms to watch a show or two don't worship tv because obviously they aren't sitting around waiting for it to come on. They got other stuff to do for certain and they choose to watch it at their own convenience and time.

TV ,whether watching live or later, has become too big of a part in our society.
I just think 99% of it is a waste of time.
