| You're reading a lot into my comments that simply aren't there. I never said I was owed an explanation, or entitled to one. Just that there has been a change, but not an explanation to go along with it. That's all I've said. It's fascinating to me how simply making basic observations can lead to people arguing with you - "what are you talking about? Nothing has changed this year. The committee meets when they meet and there is nothing different at all. You're imagining things." I do have reasons for wanting to know what the TAC decides about eligibility, ones that are more than just academic. I won't go into what they are here, but I do have them. As for the "fairness" thing - I'm not missing the point. I get the argument. I just think it's dumb. Shows opening late in the season already have a huge advantage - they are opening late in the season. I doubt that any additional "advantage" that comes with knowing what the TAC decided for fall shows really matters all that much. I'm sure shows complain about this - I'm sure shows complain about lots of things. I just am doubtful it actually matters, and am even more doubtful that this is the kind of thing the TAC would react to, or that would cause them to change their ways of doing things. That said, I could be wrong. Maybe the TAC is changing up what they are doing (whether for this reason or some other), but prefers not to go into what is changing or why. That's their prerogative. But in years past they have been fairly transparent about the whole process, and that transparency seems to have gone away. All we know about this season is that they have only met once, apparently on the morning of Feb. 1, and they discussed 20 shows and one additional rule. No word about how many more meetings there will be (presumably one more, maybe on April 28), or why they didn't meet before February. At this point I wouldn't expect any explanation to be forthcoming. And if we see the same thing season, we can probably surmise this is the new normal for these announcements. |
