And although I concede with most of your points, I have to disagree strongly in the area of crossovers. I'm a huge sucker for crossovers. I loved it when NBC had Pheobe's sister Ursula also be the flaky waitress in Mad About You, and one of the Mad About You peeps was subletting an old apartment to a character on Seinfeld. I ate it up, and thought that they should have done more, and created a whole alternate universe NBC New York that could of propelled their brand into today. They could've even broken down the old-media constraints of 'shows and time slots' and just told me I was watching three hours of my favorite character's each Thursday in NBC's 'Must Watch TV' mega show. And by making it all one mega-brand, if Seinfield was poopy and decided not to re-sign, his minor cast could have been integrated into other storylines, without having to carry brands of their own (because spinoffs don't work; I know that no one but me ever watched "Joey"). To bring it into new media, I've also seen it work with success. I call it collaboration. Me and Charlie's (CinemaPsychic.com) 'episode 50' crossover has been hailed to me as some of my best stuff. Or when I run a short segment submitted by someone else, it entertains my viewers while introducing them to the other person's blog or vlog. You don't think this would work well in blogging? What if You and a similar blogger were to do a writing exchange and 'guest post' to one another's blog. You don't think that would be a win-win situation?

Many tv shows have had blogs in the past - starting out with Dawson Leery from Dawson's Creek (via dawson's desktop) back in the day before there were "blogs" and they were just diaries online.
