Tonight, we finished the last two episodes of Six Feet Under Season 4. Wow, what a show. I'm telling you. I won't say what happened, but it was awesome. I hate that Season 5 just ended on HBO and I wasn't caught up to watch it. I'd have ordered HBO just to see that show.
Now this is HBO's fault of course. While they did rush Season 4 on DVD to come out only about a month or so after Season 3, it wasn't fast enough. Season 2 had been out on DVD for well over a year when Season 3 came out. Come on people. All you had to do was get those things out a little bit earlier.
Now I'm stuck with this other dilemma. How do I see season 5? I'm certainly not going to buy bootlegs or anything, but I have no idea when it will come out on DVD to rent. It's really not a good time to get HBO and hope I can catch the reruns. Am I allowed to get a friend to tape them off of HBO and let me borrow the tape? ERRRR this isn't fair.
All I want is some sort of cable a la carte. I'll be glad to pay for my entertainment. I just want more opportunity to do so. Its just too much of a hassle to pick up HBO just for one show. I can't really afford to keep HBO all the time.
Why can't we have some sort of deal where you just pick all of your cable channels. what do I need? ESPN, Nickelodeon, HBO uh uh anything else? Not really actually. This is a great idea. It could be 50 cents a month for some channels, maybe 2 bucks a month for some others. Like a 10 dollar minimum could make it worth their while. I don't know. I just need to see Season 5. Then I'll quit. I ll have only the Sopranos left to watch. (more on that later) And maybe Veronica Mars. Oh, and the Apprentice.

A la carte tv channels for cable - great idea, there's something similar to this for satellite in Canada, but individual channels are relatively expensive compared to package deals.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind having to select say... 20 channels to get the deal, with perhaps a couple of groups of 'premium' channels. But MTV*? When the blue photon do I ever whatch MTV*?

I'd support an ala carte option for cable/satellite channels. I only watch 10 channels at the most regularly.
ReplyDeleteMaybe premium channels could be offered on a pay-per-view basis for people who only want to watch a show or two every week.
