Question: I was just wondering if you have any reaction to the shocking, sad and truly tragic death of
Aaron Spelling, who I believe to be one of the most important figures in pop culture in the last 60 years. How do you think this will affect the future of television?
Answer: For my tribute to Aaron Spelling, check out my
recent Dispatch. His pop-culture legacy is tremendous, to be sure, but I'm not sure how his passing affects TV. He'd already pretty much slowed down, though he never truly retired. I just hope there are others out there with his indefatigable love of TV. We can never have too many guilty pleasures, and that's where Spelling was truly a master of his craft. He will be missed, there's no doubt.
