The article is very good - I like the psychological angle.

p.s. The 1st show Fox hyped that way was "Malcolm in the Middle" (which premiered Jan. 2000), followed by "Dark Angel" (Oct. 2000).

Hi Jian.

#2, "Time Distortion - Pretending They Already Are (customers)", may sometimes work, but it can really back-fire, too. I remember years ago when Fox had a bad habit of hyping their shows for SIX MONTHS before they aired - the idea being that "everyone already loved the show" (which had never aired). Every time they did it, I made it a point to NEVER watch the show - including even a few moments when channel surfing. I deeply resented the tactic, and I "paid 'em back". There are modern examples - including high tech toys based on fruit, etc., that also annoy me - No, I Don't want Any of it!!

p.s. Is "Jian26" a reference to the straight-bladed Chinese sword, sometimes called a T'ai Chi sword?
