Television continues to eat itself.
We now have mini-seasons.
Who the Hell thought this was a good idea? Thirteen episodes that just get you into the show and then you get to wait for five to forty months until the next twelve or so episode that then lead you into another cliffhanger.
Unless your show is "V" or "Flash Forward". Then four shows is enough. Enough for you to know that you don't want to watch it. Even on Hulu, where the bad mismatched commercials continue to insult and annoy.
Television do you honestly expect people to stick around while being jerked around? I've enjoyed you for years, but now I can say that I don't care about high-def. I don't care to have 400 channels. I don't care to continue paying $120 a month for the 10 channels that I do watch, sometimes; when the commercials don't make me crazy.
I'm disconnecting you.
I'm watching when I want to, what I want to, where I want to and what I want to watch it on. I can watch "Mad Men" through Apple. I can tolerate online Netflix. I can watch time-shifted, 'use on or before' Hulu and honestly, I don't miss a big screen that constantly sucks power from my wall, I don't miss having to have a TV Room and I really enjoy the electronic free reading room I now have. Nope, I don't need to experience a big screen to see movies either. I'm fine with a high resolution display and snuggling with my wife. Thank you, TV. It's been swell.
