Lois & Clark Forums Forums General Discussion Off Topic What Makes A Show Fan-Friendly?

Thought you might find this interesting:

Henry Jenkins, the Director of the MIT Comparative Media Studies Program and the Peter de Florez Professor of Humanities, summarizes the Ultimate Fan Experience in his blog, Confessions Of An Aca-Fan

And the fact the comments are pimping my reason for watching TV (Supernatural) in droves doesn't hurt my intense love for this man either.

Still, what do you think, FoLCs? Do your current favourites share these fan-friendly traits?

I like the professor's evaluation of fan-friendly media. And I agree in the main with his choices of shows which are fan-friendly. I do note that this particular blog entry is a year old, so the show-specific info is a bit dated, but it's still very interesting. And yes, he does describe "Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" and the fanfiction community continuing the adventures quite well without ever mentioning the show by name.

Thanks for finding this and sharing it with us, Hasini.
