“The Inside Secrets of TV Research” was an interesting episode, but - info-wise -
likely to disappoint Zenith and Motorola owners looking to upgrade.
Steve is a genius in his field, but more importantly, he's a blue chip human being. It was cool to hear him repeatedly show how much he knows and respects your screen, stage, and blog work; he's just that deeply considerate across the board. Terrific interview on both your part and his.
One time on a trip to LA, my family and I were in a focus group for a potential TV show. I don't think it made it on the air. It was at the NBC studio, if memory serves.
