I grew up in a limited-television home, and didn’t have a television to myself in college until senior year, when I was too busy to watch the free cable. Now that I’m paying my own bills, food and kitty litter have won out over those extra 40 channels, 35 of which I have little interest in. I’ve managed to acquire three different television sets for free, but for the first year or so they sat unwatched except on Thursday nights, when we would hooks up the antenna for The Office and its attendant Thursday night workplace comedies.
But even though I wasn’t making my use of our television - televisions - I still had to watch my programs. But how could I? Where would I go? What method should I use? After ten years online, I knew that the Internet to be a many-splendored resource for media, but my tracking skills had gotten a little rusty.
