I don’t like to watch many shows playing on network television these days. It’s not that I don’t like the shows, but I hate all the waiting. I like watching them when they are on DVD. TV shows are designed to work around the commercials. It’s 5 to 10 minutes of show leading to a tense scene and then a commercial break (small cliffhanger). Then they have the shows like Alias, and 24, where there is a cliffhangar at the end of the episode, and the next episode is next week (long cliffhanger). I can’t stand watching these durring the current season. So I wait till they get put on DVD, then I get to watch the show without the long waits (no commercials and the next eposide is just a click away or just takes a minute to change DVDs). Not only do I have to watch them on DVD, I have purchased some shows through the Apple iTunes store and watched them on Apple TV as well as streaming the shows on HULU.com and Netflix.com and internet video through Boxee.
