Right, but a TV show isn't an experience, it's a campfire story. If all you do is sit around the campfire and listen to TV producers tell you stories, you aren't having any experiences at all.

"TV show isn't an experience"

I would say that isn't true. Entertainment be it sports, gladiators, bards, plays, movies, or TV are experiences.

I think you misinterpret what I mean by the campfire. The experience happened (in this case viewing of the TV show) before people sat down and either told what happened or discussed what happened. There is a joy in discussing life and entertainment that has been around a long time.
