Re: 3x05 - Torn
Or, rather than waiting for the DVD to come out, people will just get sick of TV and more and more people will wind up downloading the shows worth watching. Which sucks in a way, since then the shows worth watching don't get watched as far as the network is concerned (ie: no one's watching their advertising). And sure, ideally the thing for them to do is find out why viewership is down, and reduce advertising to attract viewers. "NBC now has 15% LESS ads than ABC!" would be a pretty big draw for a lot of people.
Of course, we're not living in an ideal world, so we'll likely see 1/4 of our screen given over to advertising *during* the show, along with the usual 18 minutes of 'full-screen' advertising. Makes me glad I hardly watch TV anymore.
