...there are other dynamics at work this year, the most important of which is an enormous influx of new voters. The University of New Hampshire's Carsey Institute estimates that 145,000 voting-age people have moved to the Granite State in the past five years. While the ones who register do so primarily as undeclared, Smith says he believes they lean heavily Democratic, given that many come from the relatively liberal Boston area. Combined with the 86,000 people who turned 18 in this time, new voters account for nearly a quarter of the state's potential electorate...
While Lifetime acts as a sympathetic neighbor, Oxygen can seem like a know-it-all older sister, which in a way it is, given the collective success of its founders: Geraldine Laybourne, who led Nickelodeon for 15 years; the production team Carsey Werner Mandabach, whose shows include Roseanne and Cybill; and Oprah Winfrey, who is Oprah Winfrey. The network was conceived to help modern women navigate their lives; it also wanted to merge television and the Internet.

...show every night unless there are at least 100 episodes; Ellie would need seven seasons to get there. Even worse, one-camera shows, which require more days of shooting, are expensive.

...might seem odd that a nostalgia sitcom should embrace new media. But after viewing last Monday's debut of Behind the Scenes at That '70s Show--billed by producer Carsey-Werner as "the first-ever weekly Internet streaming series for a network show" (whew!)--it made sense. The jumpy video, the garbled audio (over a 56.6K modem), the thrown-together interviews with the Fox hit's stars--the infant days of TV must have been like this. It was enough to make one nostalgic for today...
...Carsey-Werner, which says Behind tripled traffic to the '70s site, doesn't claim this is art. At the end of the webcast, Kurtwood Smith, with the wonderful take-no-crap gruffness of his character Red Forman, reminded us of its purpose: "Tune in to your Fox station for That '70s Show. Not this Behind the Scenes. The real thing." No confusion about that...
