NPR's Brooke Gladstone reports on how one man has turned a life-long addiction to television into an art form. His meticulous blueprints of TV character's homes are on exhibit now in New York, will be shown in Washington this summer, and have inspired a new book. The artist, who still works his day job as a mail carrier, credits his blueprints with helping him kick the TV habit that nearly destroyed his life. Architectural critics say the artist has tapped into a powerful, symbolic language understood throughout the culture.
