Television versus Musical Television

My current favorite TV show is 'Community' which is a comedy series about a group of students at a community college. It is very heavily laden with pop-culture and meta-humor. The commercials that are on during Community are usually commercials for other TV shows on a variety of different networks. This type of advertising works on me, and other Community fans, because of the interest in pop culture. I very much enjoy primetime television and absolutely love pop culture, which is probably the reason I love Community and the commercials that are aired during it. The thing about music videos versus primetime television is that music videos are about three or four minutes long and the only vocalization you get are lyrics (which I like to be cryptic and open to interpretation). Television has anywhere from thirty minutes to a hour to send a message across with dialogue or what have you, which is a lot easier to get a message across. Music videos, however, can generally be very abstract and 'weird' as opposed to TV shows that have to maintain a structure and basic plot.
