I was just wondering now since they put tv online shows the next day after they air. Do you watch TV when first air or do you watch them online later? I have to watch everything 1st air ‘cos my connection’s so crap. Watching online would be like looking at a poor flicker book!!

It depends on the day because on Thursday, I watch a lot of shows. If they’re all on at once, such as CSI, Ugly Betty, LOST, Grey’s Anatomy and Smallville, it’s hard for me to watch them ALL. Sure, I can watch a few, but not all of them, so I do end up watching some of the TV shows on Friday or on the weekend. The great thing is that I think it depends on your computer monitor. I sure wouldn’t want to watch TV on a small computer monitor, but if one has a decent computer monitor, such as 20” or 22”, then the TV viewing experience will be fantastic. Also, it varies whether I have work to do or studying. If I have an exam the next day, I’ll probably end up studying for my exam and then watching the episode after my exam. It’s amazing what TiVo and the internet has done. Remember a few years ago how we would need to record on a VCR tape? Haha, I still have some of my VCR tapes labeled with “Friends” and other reality shows that I use to record.

I prefer to watch TV online. I think it is more comfortable and there is a lot of advantage on it. Off course you need to be on a Highspeed Internet Connection.

yes the advantages include getting to watch it any time you want to, being able to pause, picking the episode to watch, what show you watch, and many other options which make it more fun to watch tv online

Also, TV episodes do repeat themselves the next day or even the next week for the people who have missed it, which makes it definitely easier for the many people who don’t watch TV online. For example, Grey’s Anatomy is on on Thursday but sometimes, the same episode is on on Friday. I think viewers do like this option knowing that they don’t have to watch the episode on that particular day and because the networks do have space in their timetable, they are able to fit in some popular shows and episodes the next day or the next week. I do love watching episodes on TV, but as for watching online, it does save time because there aren’t any commercials or anything.
