Ahead of the Game

November 8, 2007 by

I have a confession to make.
I haven’t watched tv for months. Well, not in the usual sense.
I have cottoned onto this business of surreptitiously posted links to streaming tv, posted onto the interweb immediately after they’ve been broadcast and captured lovingly on digital units across the Pacific and reuploaded for the likes of me who appreciated being able to watch long before my cohorts and without advertising.
And if I’m not doing that I’m watching DVDs of my fav shows that I’ve bought at various times, or of movies I’m fond of and my tolerance for ads is getting reduced with every new episode I watch.
This is a dilemma, for as you know these shows would not exist without advertising and clearly to download dodgy tv isn’t exactly the ‘Christian’ thing to do.
But the convenience outweighs these concerns for the most part and I am now abreast of all the developments in the latest episodes of Grey’s, I’m addicted to Private Practice and for some reason I’m sold out to CSI:NY Season 4.
It’s a consolation to me that I’ll have something to look at during our notorious ‘non ratings’ period over the Summer and when the boxed sets come out of the above shows I’ll buy them so that at some level those who produce the shows will be compensated for my illicit behaviour.
Of course, if iTunes Australia offered these shows I’d be paying for them. So it’s about time they got their act together.

    I can’t believe how little tv I watch now compared to say five years ago. The only thing I bother with these
    days is the rerun of Friends on at 6.30, perfect for winding down after a hard day.
    Just can’t find a telly show that grabs me, and it really has to grab me in order to come before my reading/blogging.

    I should be ditching it in favour of reading. I should add a trip to the library to my list of things to do…
