New York Times says: While 3-D TVs account for only a small portion of the total TV marketplace now, a study from Frank N. Magid Associates indicates that could change soon. The study reported that about 25% of consumers plan to buy a 3-D-ready TV within the next 12 months and, among the techier 18-to-24 male crowd, the adoption rate goes up to 40%.

Join us at our Hit Makers Summit and talk with Doug Stanley, Deadliest Catch producer and 3D Expert about how you can take advantage of this.

The worst part of the end of summer is the end of some great shows. We’re down to the last few episodes of Entourage, Hung, True Blood, Eureka and others. So You Think You Can Dance already ended.

Summer TV is SO much better than when we were kids.
