We all know there are a million things to watch, or stream, “airing” all the time. So how do you find and build an audience? Music offers one avenue.

Netflix has launched a number of series using specific musical tastes to attract a passionate viewership. Two weeks back, it introduced Baz Luhrmann’s “The Get Down,” an epic look at the birth of hip-hop culture. Today, it premieres “XOXO”, a movie set in the world of rave music, or EDM (Electronic Dance Music), featuring an ensemble cast playing friends and strangers who meet at a festival.

Look for Sarah Hyland (“Modern Family”), Ione Skye (“Say Anything”), Colin Woodell (“Masters of Sex”), Chris D’Elia (“Whitney” and “Undateable”) and Ryan Hansen (“Party Down”).

If EDM is not to your liking and you’ve already seen (or know you don’t want to watch) “The Get Down,” Netflix is also streaming the 2014 documentary “Take Me to the River.”

Narrated by Terrence Howard (“Empire”), “River” celebrates the Memphis sound and the music of the Mississippi Delta. Musicians from several genres and generations unite to record songs from Memphis in its heyday. Performers include William Bell, Snoop Dogg, Mavis Staples, Otis Clay, Lil’ P-Nut, Charlie Musselwhite, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Yo Gotti, Bobby Rush, Frayser Boy and The North Mississippi All-Stars.

Also launching today on Netflix, the comedy special “Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy: We’ve Been Thinking,” taped before a concert crowd in Minneapolis.

“We’ve Been Thinking” is the name of the comedy tandem’s ongoing tour. One of the tour’s sponsors is RFD-TV. Now I never thought I’d see RFD-TV and Netflix in the same sentence. But that reflects the wide range of programming on the growing streaming service.

After all, it was only last Friday that Netflix launched “Fearless,” the sports documentary series set in the world of PBR, or Professional Bull Riding.

It’s hard to think of another network that would try to reach audiences for both EDM and PBR.

Some years back, Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy toured as part of a “Blue Collar Comedy Tour” and appeared, along with Bill Engvall, on a WB series called “Blue Collar TV.”

I’ve always found television’s use of the term “Blue Collar” to be rather shaky. Particularly since Foxworthy had gained much fame with his “You Might Be a Redneck” routine. Using those two terms as if they were interchangeable

Dear Reader: You’re likely referring to a study done at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). As many readers will recall, NBC television put on a competition reality show for several years, beginning in late 2004. Extremely overweight people competed to see who could lose the most weight, through diet and exercise, over 30 weeks.

In summary, the competitors did a remarkable job of losing weight. But then they slowly gained most of it back. Sound familiar? The study suggests that one reason they had trouble keeping the weight off involves their resting metabolic rate.

What is resting metabolic rate, and how does it relate to body weight? Our weight is greatly affected by the balance between the calories we consume in food and the calories our body burns. Most people know that. What is not as well known is that the efficiency with which our body burns calories can be quite different, varying from one person to the next.

You probably know people who seem to eat like a horse but are not overweight, and others who don’t eat much and do exercise, yet are overweight. The difference is that the first group burns calories more readily. Their resting metabolic rate is higher.

What is even less well known is that a person’s resting metabolic rate changes always struck me as the very symbol of commercial media’s inability to understand its audience. Never mind American culture.

That said, Discovery launches a new variation on “Shark Tank” called “Blue Collar Backers” (9 p.m.), featuring four investors who help small firms enter the marketplace, or take their shops to the next level.
