Cliches in writing and TV

by "ZBicyclist" <ZBicyclist@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Apr 13, 2008 at 12:19 PM

"when writing, you should avoid cliché, but on television you should
embrace 
it."

This is from A.O. Scott's profile of Roger Ebert (now off TV, but still 
writing print reviews) in the NY Times
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/13/movies/13scot.html?pagewanted=1&th&emc=th

Just wondered what some of the media people here thought of that advice.
