Hello, and welcome to a Moviefone that knows when the Moviefone episode of Seinfeld is playing
Having already ditched the “phone” part of its moniker, movie-listings service Moviefone will soon distance itself from the concept of movies as well. Not entirely, of course: Acknowledging shifting cultural attitudes toward the telephone (a handheld communication device now primarily used to access the Internet and/or crush pixelated candy) and movie theaters (darkened rooms used for the purposes of texting and tweeting from handheld communication devices), an updated Moviefone app will soon expand its purview to include streaming and broadcast listings for television series, helping users avoid the moviegoing hassles created by the very devices with which they’re accessing Moviefone.
