Watch JONAS on Disney Channel! I am pretty sure all of the teens in the USA want to see and watch JONAS TV Show! JONAS TV Show is a much-anticipated program, the reason is that the JONAS Brothers are gaining much love from everyone. If you are curious, "J.O.N.A.S." means "Junior Operatives Networking As Spies". Yes, if we watch "Junior Operatives Networking As Spies", we are going to expect much crime solving and spying.
If you want to know the main cast of JONAS (TV Show), here they are: Nick Jonas, Joe Jonas, Kevin Jonas, Chelsea Staub, & John Ducey. Also, part of JONAS are: Rebecca Creskoff, Frankie Jonas & Big Rob Fregans. This J.O.N.A.S. show is a sitcom. Every JONAS episode is 24 minutes long. I am wondering how many J.O.N.A.S. episodes will they make?
Watch J.O.N.A.S. guys! If you have added info about "J.O.N.A.S. TV show", please leave a message to help fellow "J.O.N.A.S." fans. Watch this "J.O.N.A.S." video.

Movie companies creating own TV station, VOD Web site
MGM, Paramount, and Lionsgate are reportedly joining together to form their own TV channel called Epix. The channel would show movies from the three studios nine months after they are released in theaters. In addition to the television channel, the group also plans on launching a Web site where users can stream movies on demand.
Currently no cable or satellite companies have agreed to pick up the channel, which would be a definite requirement if anyone will actually ever be able to watch it. The channel would work similar to HBO, in the respect that customers would have to pay an additional fee to get the channel.
The Web site for the channel will also cost money. The idea would be to charge a subscription for users to watch the same movies they can watch on their television on demand streaming from the Web site.
It could be interesting to see if given the option, users will prefer to subscribe to a cable channel or a web video on demand service for their movies- it would also be interesting to see what the price difference will be between getting the two different, yet for the most part same services.
Personally I would like to see the channel and on-demand service offered as a bundle together. That way you could watch movies as they aired on your television, but also stream them from your computer when you’re on-the-go or if you’re in the mood to watch a movie.
With the extreme availability of movies now on the web, wither streaming from places like Netflix, or downloaded from iTunes- it will be interesting to see if another video on demand site could even get the legs it needs to get started.
What do you think? Would you subscribe to the Epix television station or Web site for your movies?

TV Should Get Real - The Internet Should Join In
You ever tried watching TV lately? I’m talking … maybe in the last year or so? In my opinion it’s getting really “junk.” I can hardly come across anything I like, and if I do I have to wait forever for it to actually come on.
You know, Rob and Big, Aqua Teen, Family Guy - Well let’s exclude Family Guy, it’s on about 3 different channels anyway.
I’m sure all of you are aware of uStream, Justin.TV, the list goes on! What if “TV” was like that? Would it be much better?
The reason of this post?
Ok well, sometimes I’m really busy, and I just don’t have time to watch TV. And sometimes I’m not even home to watch the episodes even then.. so DVR is not really an option to me. I mean, it is, but why use that when I can’t even pull the movies/shows off of it? So, OnDemand isn’t even worth it anymore to me.
With all that they are trying to do with the Internet, all this Media Center stuff, Netflix, etc - I think they should make the whole TV scene OnDemand. With all this HD Online, why not? I watch Hulu almost every other day when I’m interested in House.
Life Streaming
With all this life streaming, live streaming, video recording - Why not make TV like this? Why can’t the Internet take over TV as it stands to make it actually watchable and more interesting than it is. I understand that TV works off of Ads (for some people to make money), but that still doesn’t excuse the fact that half of the TV shows I liked went to hell because they were scripted. That kills ratings and then no one will even see the Ads.
With watching someones Podcast, or listening, now THAT’S interesting. Completely unscripted, unrehearsed, reality. I remember watching the Real World for years, and then it went to crap because it seemed highly scripted. I think it was after the San Diago one? Might of been before that. I get more real world watching someone sit at their computer and curse at pop ups than watching what TV calls “Reality TV.”
The Synopsis
To TV producers (Not Podcasters ), come up with some stuff that is real, interesting, and worth watching. I get tired of watching the same Ad 3 times in a row, just to end up disappointed at the TV Show itself.

TV technology is headliner at electronics show CES 2009
LAS VEGAS | Exhibitors at this year’s International Consumer Electronics Show, which officially began Thursday, appear determined to not let the recession slow down the stream of new gadgets and software.
But one of the big focuses of the show is a consumer device that predates the others — the television. TV makers are adding such features as streaming Internet movies and 3-D, betting they can keep consumers away from basic, no-frills sets.
The manufacturers are fighting an unhappy trend. DisplaySearch, a research firm, forecasts that global sales of LCD TVs, the most popular kind, will fall 16 percent in 2009 to $64 billion. That would be the first sales decline since the technology debuted in TVs in 2000.
To entice consumers, manufacturers are touting relatively inexpensive advances — including top-line and value-priced TVs that connect to the Internet.
Such TVs started appearing a year ago with limited functions, like being able to display news and weather reports. Now, back-end systems and for streaming movies are coming together.
For instance, LG Electronics Inc. and Vizio Corp. announced that some of their TVs will be able to show video from Netflix Inc.’s streaming service. LG said the service would add $200 to $300 to the price of a TV. Panasonic Corp. and Sony Corp. televisions will show videos from Amazon.com Inc.’s Unbox service.
Yahoo Inc. is emerging as the leading provider of other Internet data services, through its Widget Engine. Sony, LG, Toshiba Corp. and Samsung Electronics Co. all plan to introduce TVs that can grab Flickr photos, YouTube videos and news.
Two other new features cut across the top-tier models: improved handling of fast-moving scenes and reduced power use.
Last year, manufacturers touted sets that display 120 frames per second, for sharper and smoother action and panning scenes. TV signals and discs have only 24 to 30 frames per second, so the sets compute more frames to stick between the existing ones. This year, most manufacturers are raising the bar to 240 frames per second, but not by computing more new frames. Instead, the backlight will switch on and off quickly, fooling the eye into perceiving even smoother movement.
Manufacturers also have jumped on the opportunity to get their sets certified under the new, much tougher Energy Star requirements set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. In November, the agency introduced limits for the power use of switched-on TVs. The old rules only specified the amount of power TVs use in standby mode, with the screen off.
The goal for the Energy Star program is to recognize the most energy-efficient products, those in the top 25 percent of a category. But most new TVs announced at the show will meet the requirements, so the EPA probably will have to raise the bar.
Sony introduced what it called its “first green line” of LCD TVs. The Eco Bravia models will use 40 percent less power than last year’s models, exceeding the latest Energy Star requirements. Samsung and Panasonic announced TVs with similar cuts in power consumption, without branding them as “green.”
Samsung, the world’s largest TV maker, is making a big push in LCD TVs that are backlit by light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, rather than fluorescent tubes. This is less radical than dispensing with LCDs to use a different technology known as organic LEDs, yet it promises power savings, eye-popping colors and contrast.
