I wouldn't watch the circus on TV. I like the circus -- the ring master in a top hat and a tall voice, the tents, tightropes and tigers -- but I wouldn't watch it from home. It's just not a TV kind of event. It doesn't translate.
But why would it translate? It's a show best seen in another era. It's a show structured in another age, for another kind of audience, and it doesn't lend itself to play-by-play analysis and opinion.
