Should be about School Times!
"If you had an inkling of hope that HBO might start moving away from cable and satellite providers, co-president Eric Kessler is here to extinguish that notion. As reported by mocoNews, Kessler said at an industry event today there was no chance his company's shows (True Blood, The Wire, Game of Thrones, and so on) would be made available to digital non-subscribers. (Starz, meanwhile, was rumored to be considering just such a move.) Kessler explained he thinks cord cutting is more of a temporary phenomenon that will go away when the economy improves, and that partnering with cable and satellite providers allows it to avoid transaction costs."

You know what piracy really is? A clear and undeniable statement of what's wrong with the legal version.
Whether you actually agree with the concept or not, it's prevalence speaks far more of the failings of the current system than the deliberate malice on the part of it's participants - and the inherent suggestion that the current structure of cable and satellite TV will outlast the streaming/on-demand desires that are, even as I write this, on the increase globally?
Well, what can be said? Mr. Kessler's comments are shockingly out of touch with reality.
Then again, why should I be all that surprised when the politicians who listen to these non-thinkers with what can only be described as BOVINE stuidity, continue to consider internet legislation that's not even sensible or workable in reality?
I read recently about a (I believe this one was British, but the USA has their share of them as well) politician that thought "IP address" stood for "intellectual property address".
Yeah. That's how bad.
I want those people making no laws, for anyone, except the one where they write "I WILL NOT TRY TO PASS LEGISLATION I DO NOT UNDERSTAND" 1000 times on the blackboard.

Firefly: cancelled
Stargate Universe: cancelled
Community: getting cancelled
30 Rock: ditto
But what stays on the air??? Shit like Jersey Shore. Screw 'em. With cacti.
but they don't care, all that matters is money
I hardly watch TV at all anymore, it's literally just 3 shows all week: Mad Men, Community and 30 Rock. If 2 of those get cancelled, well, whatever.
Juhani's never seen Dr. Who, (!!!) so maybe it's time to get all those on DVD and start them....we've gone thru half of Red Dwarf too, as he'd never seen it before.
Hooray for UK comedy!
I'm a big fan of a couple comedies and one or two weird dramas (I like Fringe a lot, don't know if you get that where you are)
Trying to get caught up now on the newer Dr Who's... didn't have any cable for a while so I missed mostly all the last two doctors... I remember watching Red Dwarf back in the 90s on our PBS station, but nobody is running it now...
Totally understand about background music, I listen to my favourite bands when not working (J and I usually will just sit and listen to an album all the way through, if it's a particularly loved group - right now my favourites are probably Gojira and Killing Joke), but our TV is not even on most days! There's a decent local radio station that plays music that's mostly old rock, some "light" older metal songs which is enough in our genre that it's good background music, fills the flat with a good mood. (Old Sabbath, Accept, Van Halen, various Finnish bands, etc)....good tunes to repaint chairs to, which is what I'm doing today. (Took a lunch break!)
Fringe is worth checking into, I think its possible to view it online on FOX online... its kind of similar in some ways to the X files, but a little more off the wall... think of the most funny episodes of the X-files and that's what Fringe is nearly all the time... not that its a comedy, its not, paranormal drama I guess, but with a quirky side.
