CHEERS was on thursday nights. THE A-TEAM was on tuesdays. if you missed it, you missed it. there were no tivos or VCRs or a DVD box set at the end of the season.<br /><br />what we have now is "pull media" which means we watch it when we want. i have the entire first season of LOST, CARNIVALE and DEADWOOD i haven't touched yet along with five seasons of 24. it's killed the cultural aspect of entertainment because we can't talk about THE OFFICE over the water cooler since half of us won't watch it until this weekend. there is no urgency to see the new TERMINATOR because if i miss it now, i'll just watch it at home three months from now minus cell phone bastards and crying babies.<br /><br />i am still puzzled at the people hovering at blockbuster on a friday waiting for a copy of HOTEL FOR DOGS.james fordhttp://www.jamesford.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
