I still firmly believe that episodic entertainment in the future will be provided when we want it, not when the harvest calendar dictates it. We will lose some of our shared culture, but we will gain control over what we watch and when we watch it. [...] [...] Would On-Demand Work?

It doesn't include all of my shows, HIMYM being one of them. I want everything offered on an On Demand basis. And I want it on my tv, not my computer. My tv is big and hi-def--I bought it so that I could experience the benefits of a big, hi-def screen on all of my shows. I feel as if this is coming; I just want it now.

I'd watch FX shows when I'd forget to record them with O/D, along with a few CBS shows that are on there. Unfortunately, HIMYM and BBTheory aren't available. NBC offers shows on there too, but laughably make you pay $.99 for each episode. Instead of spending money, I just go to hulu if I want to watch something. I'm excited about ABC putting its shows on hulu since their ABC player isn't allowed to load at work. Comcast cable actually has on Demand.

I need this to be the way I watch TV. I really can't think of a drawback on the viewer side of things. I know. I need this to be the way I watch TV.

I don't really watch much tv, but all the shows I love (house, HIMYM, Big bang) on monday nights are at the same time. So House gets left in the dust, since I'll take a good laugh over anal bleeding anyday. I would LOVE this.
