NBC pulling off iTunes ! O Noess........BSG, Heroes...
man!
o boy.
I. Can't. Believe. It.
How stupid can one network be?
From digg
and another
This article says it all for me!
I was almost *completely* off TV watching about 1-1/2 years ago. Then iTunes posted this show called LOST. I downloaded an episode because I had just bought a new video iPod and I was curious about how a TV show would look on it. I got so hooked on the first episode that I downloaded the entire season (for about $40ish bucks) and watched them until 3am.
Then I tracked down LOST fanfic and got even more hooked.
Then I found *other* shows on iTunes: the new Battlestar Galactica and Heroes, for example. Then Kyle XY. I probably never would have gotten hooked on these shows without iTunes. And I *WON'T" go back to watching them on a specific day, time, and with commercials.
Since that moment when I first downloaded LOST on iTunes I've become so much more involved with TV programming than I have in YEARS. And I talk about these shows to friends, familys, and co-workers and THEY have gotten hooked on them and are either buying DVDs, watching commercial TV, or buying through iTunes.
And I find other shows and music via these shows--and BUY all that STUFF!
Now NBC may be doing me a favor (my pocketbook and real-life free-time) in the long run.
But they are just being stupid.
It may finally be time to get a TIVO.
END-OF-PUBLIC-RANT (for now)
