the overall plot is essentially meaningless and just serves to get the characters into situations to explore male relationships and the emotional and spirital wellbeing of these hulking musclebeasts, which isn't something that's been on television. football players being afraid of death and losing mental function, relationships with their fathers, fearing old age and uselessness, missing the thing you dedicated your entire life to doing and can no longer participate in before you're even middle aged. the episode where The Rock tries to make amends with the guy whose career he ended was pretty great

sounds good im gonna watch it

apple doesn't make anything except software and cad files, making their own shows seems too risky

.DS_Store files are invisible (the dot preceeding the filename makes them invisible)

you will never run across a DS_Store file unless you're directly looking for them

that has a much longer and different reasoning/history though

because they invented the broadcast equipment to DO nbc

it was a technological revolution

that's different than oprah being "I'm gonna make a tv network cuz $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to burn"
