TV Shows!

Watching anything cool? Here's what I'm watching, spoilers after the break. Thank god the fall line up is kicking in to gear heh. Whew. Before the lineup, read fantastic news somewhere that hbo is going to be the first of the stubborn networks to offer a individual subscription service for their shows. And then I believe cbs announced their decision to do the same the next day.

Its about time. I respect cable networks and other providers for what they've offered us for the last hundred or so years but welcome to the new century. You have to understand by now that no one wants to pay 200 a month for 500 channels they have no interest in watching just so they can get the 3 channels they do want. Hulu / Netflix paved the way for change, I know these providers like comcast and metrocast and others will say its going to cost jobs or somesuch when folks abandon their payment method and go to hulu / netflix but guys, we've been screaming for YEARS for you to just offer a payment system that works like the following :

. I go to your site, I hit subscribe.
. I see a master list of all 1000 channels or how ever many you have.
. I check box click all the ones I want, each channel has a individual dollar amount per month cost.
. I hit check out, bam.

Hulu in particular wouldn't exist right now if the traditional provider companies had adopted the above system 10 years ago so anytime someone tells me that I'm costing people their lively hoods I reply, "No I'm not, its the provider companies who are by not adapting to the times." Its no different than blockbuster / netflix. If blockbuster had opened its eyes, realised that mail delivery / digital streaming was the future we would all have blockbuster monthly subscriptions and not netflix. Dosen't matter that netflix did it first, if blockbuster had jumped on right at the very very beginning alongside netflix they would of dominated due to customer loyalty so long as they didn't do anything stupid. But stupid isnt something we had to worry about, they never even tried.

So yea, comcast, metrocast, etc. You all are endangering the livelyhoods of your employees and you stubborn networks that refuse to step away from these providers stubborness, your endangering yours as well.

-steps off soapbox-

Don't know where that came from, guess its just something I've wanted to say for awhile. But anyways here's the break and beyond it is my show lineup with a brief 'whats going on' for each.

Whats on TV

Caught up on my shows.

Supernatural : Best episode of this season yet, everyones their very best you find out exactly who the angel is who is in Sam, why this angel was in prison too. Crowley is hilarious, useful and proves that hell still fears him, with good reason.

Revolution : Good episode, story progresses all round.

Family Guy and Simpsons were both boring.

Sleepy Hollow : Find out why the misfit sister was in prison all those years, find out how connection to this whole mess and witness this shows take on exorcisms. Very cool special effects...

Agents of Shield : Character development, story progression, worth watching.

Dracula : AWESOME! Go watch it!

Almost Human : Hilarious and great, solid episode!

There we go, kept the spoilers out and gave my recommendations. Go watch all of them on hulu except family guy and simpsons, those were really boring.
