There's only so many times you can rewatch The Office and Friends. It can't be a major ongoing revenue source.

This has been going on forever. Check out "The Brady Bunch". Every episode revolves around a heavy-handed moral lesson. Go back even further and you've got the Hayes Code. Hollywood has always seen itself as morally superior to the rest of us, and hence entitled to preach to us.

Though with all the scandals emanating from Hollywood, one wonders how they hold on to that moral superiority.

You'd be surprised (or not). Personally I find it utterly bizarre but a few people I know literally do just watch the office and friends on a loop.

Quality (UK) Vs quantity (US) eh.

Bizarre, true. When I want moving wallpaper, I'll put on a "cab ride" from yootoob.
