One word: Internet.
(get it?)
I love The Office, it's the only show I watch regulatly since Arrested Development stopped airing. The trouble is, I work every Thursday night from 3-11. Solution? The internet. (Disclaimer: Cornerstone does not condone the opinions of the individuals on this blog.) Honestly, I don't even own a TV, but when I find a show in which I'm interested, I turn to the internet for access. For example, there is (was?) an HBO show called Flight of the Concords that I loved, but instead of watching them on the TV I don't own, I did a quick Youtube search and found all the episodes right at my fingertips. Between TiVo and DVR and whatever other gizmos are out there, it's obvious we are no longer content to have some network programmer tell us when we can watch our shows. TV does not offer any amount of control besides holding a remote that may or may not work (or like some people i know, seven remotes which all correspond to different things...). I think using the Internet to access TV shows and movies is an inevitable trend.
Overall, this is my view on the television:
