Sure, it’s easy to
criticize Hollywood, but try to remember that the entertainment industry today
is an intellectually demanding environment, fraught with cognitively
challenging, even intractable, questions, like, to take one recent example: How
can the cable mini-series “The Bible” be such a ratings hit when there is no
audience for overtly religious entertainment programming?
According to the
latest Nielsens, released Tuesday, Sunday night’s telecast of “The Bible,”
produced by husband-and-wife team Mark Burnett and Roma Downey for basic
cable’s History channel, managed to attract more viewers than anything on
broadcast network NBC … during the entire week.
