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.
