This article deals with the ontological and modal status of the things we watch on television. I apply Adolf Reinach's distinction between what he calls 'simple objects' and 'states of affairs' to the wider problem of distinguishing between 'seeing as perception' and 'seeing as comprehension.' These considerations lead me to conclude that those who produce and edit together a television story commit to a communicative act and there is no escape from this fact about television viewing. Television provides us with objects that have been actively created by other people
