Over the last few years there have been a lot of changes in how I watch TV. A while ago I basically stopped watching about 90% of the shows I used to watch. For one reason or another, for some I lost interest for others I simply did not have the time to watch them anymore.
When Natasha was born there was even less time to watch TV. The few moments that I found, I watched what ever was on at that time, without having any shows I was truly following. Lately I basically stopped watching TV all together.
TV is simply to restricting. The shows I want to watch are never when I have the time to watch them. I also don't want to be tracking the schedule of all the shows I want to watch to tape them. The Internet has taken place of my primary entertainment and news source. If I want to watch a TV show I can easily find it on the net. I can almost say that TV is dead to me.
I think this is how it is for a lot of people. If TV networks don't come up with a different business model I can foresee TV growing increasingly irrelevant and eventually die. What we need is an on demand model of TV. Any show at any time delivered to my living room. I don't know how realistic this model is but something must be done.
For the moment a big problem of course is that if people like me continue to only watch TV on line, the shows we love to watch will stop being made because nobody is watching them on TV.
