There are some rather good TV
Shows on right now. The ones I look at are
Heroes, Lost,
24,
Battlestar Galactica and TAPS (Ghost
Hunters). I guess there are a lot more good shows out there but there is
so much more to do than to watch TV isn't there? A lot of TV-shows can
be downloaded from the internet and watched without the
commercials. This makes an episode about 43 minutes instead of one hour
and it also has the benefit of not having to wait until the episode is
aired in counties outside USA. It is probably illegal but I think it is the next
inevitable step in the TV industry. Nothing is staying the same.
Unfortunately, the TV companies won't quietly let this happen and it
won't be long until we will see a new type of commercials. Probably
directly embedded into the video flow as watermarks (as where we see the
name of the TV channel today) or as a split screen where the program is
showed on one half of the screen at the same time as the commercial is
showed on the other half of the screen. Commercials will probably also
be more subtle embedded as part of the show (even more than it is
today).
This means that I will be commenting on the episodes as they are
"aired on the internet" which means that it is possible that the episode
isn't aired in your country yet, unless you live in USA. So a big
SPOILER WARNING, here. |
