Yep, I would've jizzed my pants as a kid if I could watch all my cartoons online. It always pissed me off when I'd have to see them out of order or be confronted with constant reruns. The Interwebs fulfills my autistic needs to watch them in chronological order, categorize them by season and episode, and know each episode title.

>>26913420

and by folder, categorized appropriately, later back-uped on external USB hd

I'd say no more than 10years and TV will be dead.
I blame the fucking commercials, seriously, who the fuck wants to watch a movie that has a 5-10min break every 20mins. or a 30min show that has 3 5min breaks, fuck that.

i haven't really watched comedy central in quite afew months, mostly because i switched cable companies about 4 months ago and for the life of me i still don't know what a single channel is.

generally i have to hunt through the guide to find the channel i'm looking for, so usually i just give up and watch something else or just play some video games.

but even still i haven't watched it because i've also been avoiding the colbert report and the daily show. the election season starts way too early for the modern world we live in, and i'm generally sick of hearing about it long before the candidates are even chosen.

i dont know anyone who just sits in front of a tv surfing channels anymore.

now everyone sits on the internet

>>26913420
what cartoons did you watch as a kid where it mattered what order they showed them?

>>26913720
My roomate criticizes me for sitting in front of my computer watching dloaded TV/Movies while he just channel surfs all day

So if these networks go down, will we benefit or suffer?

I hope the TV format doesn't die out. And I supposed to get my longform storytelling from books?

>>26913838
You'll still get glorious television, but it will be distributed on the internet with sites like Netflix and iTunes.

>>26913818
If Sumner Redstone's Jew empire falls we all benefit.

>>26913720
i don't watch fuck all on the internet, i didn't buy a 40+ inch tv to watch it on my 19" moniter or 12' laptop.

admittedly i'd love to sign up for netflix again, but ever since they raised the price i just can't justify it anymore.

also streaming sucks for me, since att roped us in with those wireless cable boxes and combine that with the shit router they make you use everything gets bogged down easily.

>>26913780
KotH had continuity.

But it sucked as a kid when there was one special episode that you liked more than any other and you only saw it once or twice. Now that's gone.

>>26913604
well then, you could say the same thing about pandora and any video site that plays ad's.

i find online ads way more obnoxious than tv commercials.

>>26913815

>In July 2010, Redstone was caught on tape, trying to find the source of an apparently embarrassing leak within his own MTV. Redstone offered money and protection to a journalist if he would give up his source. Apparently Mr. Redstone had been pushing MTV management to give more airtime to a girl band called the Electric Barbarellas. 'On the message, Redstone tells the reporter that "we're not going to kill" the source, adding: "We just want to talk to him." The 87-year-old Redstone also tells the reporter he will be "well rewarded and well protected" if he gives up the source.[31] Lauria told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday he wouldn't do it. Viacom Inc. spokesman Carl Folta confirmed to "Today" that it was Redstone's voice on the message and said the mogul had made a mistake.
Wow. Didn't know that. That's an evil guy. That story anyway. I know who he is, but was just wandering what all he owned.

Maybe this will spell the end to the retarded 18-34 demographic. Maybe just forget about TV demographics altogether and people can just make shows however they want.

>>26913848
Yes I hope so. No more good shows getting cancelled because of ratings right?

whats an HDMI cable?

Do you guys really expect to get quality programming if no money is being made on it? You do realize it's a business right?

>>26913951
look at any review online for anything, people nit pick so god damn hard breaking bad would have been cancelled in season one.

homelands season one finalle would have never aired because "it's like every episode is filler"

and 2 and a half men would be the top rated show in the history of history because "lol tiger blood!!!!! i'm on a drug, it's called charlie sheen"

>>26914012
I expect them to produce quality programming out of the goodness of their hearts and give it to me for free.

>>26913856
you could buy like a $300 netbook or something and have that plugged into your tv.

not sure how good netbooks are for video stuff though

>>26914098
i was never overly fond of comcast untill i switched to u-verse, the only upside u-verse has over comcast is when i'm flipping through the guide there's a little box that shows whats playing on the channel your looking at.

do you not pay any attention to all the news about piracy/copy right infringment?

soon enough everything won't be a free for all.

Too bad I like sports too much. Only thing holding me back.

I just hate wasting my life watching ads. If I'm going to waste my life I'm going to waste it with you /tv/

I don't like that there aren't cartoons for kids unless they have cable. The cw has a kid programming on saturday but I feel bad most kids won't have dat feel of coming home after school to cartoons.

>>26914566
just go to your local sports bar aspie fucktard
who wants to watch sports alone anyway

>>26914767
who wants to watch sports at a bar when there's like 10 different games on, and the whole damn place is so loud you can't hear it anyway?

Ariel is on a hit show that has killer ratings. She isn't going anywhere.

>>26914663
It's the sad truth. They assume everyone has cable. Only PBS offers cartoons during Saturday mornings, but a growing amount of affiliates are showing pledge break programing.

I've stopped watching PBS years once I hit 13.

Of course Nick is dropping.
People only watch for Victorious and iCarly. Once they're gone, it'll be a wasteland.

>>26915011
Me and my friends only watched it for Drake & Josh and they still had viewers after it ended.

nope, they've also got the bastard child of dragon ball z, and dragon ball gt.

>>26915085
huh?

>>26915011

Legend of Korra, man.

the reason no one is watching tv is because most shows are all shit. Can you think of even 1 good show on mtv now? They used to have such great shows like cribs, pimp my ride, rob and big, etc. They have shit now. Same with nickelodeon. Its all those shitty live action teeny bopper sitcoms. It was fine when there were just a few like drake and josh and thats so raven, but now there are like 50 of these fuckin types of shows and they are ALL THE SAME!!

>>26915107
is it regular nick or nick toons that has dragon ball z kai, and dragon ball gt?

sometimes i'll turn one on if nothing else is on, but dragon ball z kai really chaps my ass on how much they actually took out of it.

>>26915085
>12 years ago

It didn't REALLY explode until after 2000.

You fuck with Directv and you get burned. No wonder they didnt want to pay Viacom. DTV knew the ratings were going to hell with all the spongebob.

Everybody watches the shit out of Pawn Stars.

>>26916106

Paying higher cable bills for shittier content with more commercials. I wonder why they have less customers?

On the internet you don't pay for commercials. It's free with commercials or you pay. Unless it's Hulu, but they will fail soon enough because of their shit rules. We also don't need to pay for executives to decide what the people want. No more Jew propaganda and hiring your buddy from temple.

>>26916166
I can afford it, and I enjoy being able to flip channels and find random stuff to watch, plus I need it for sports

I get why some people don't feel like they need it though
