CBS recently bringing back the CBS Sunday Movie shows just how terrible movies can look on commercial TV, yet the franchise offers a communal experience for its viewers. "Watching Raiders of the Lost Ark chopped up with periodic interruptions for commercials would be a lousy way to see it for the first time," says Keith Phipps. "But for the umpteenth time? Why not? And why not get on social media and chat about the experience? It’s a truly terrible way to watch a classic film, but not a bad way to hang out under quarantine conditions."
