The Death of TV?

With the introduction of video podcasts, I find myself watching less and less TV. To me, podcasts are more interesting because they can focus on such a narrow audience. We no longer have to suffer through what the masses find appealing. Those of you who know me, know that I march to the beat of my own drum. I don't always go with the inline crowd. Well, my TV viewing habbits are no different.

I find myself bored with the everyday sitcom. I am nausiated by shows like Amerian Idol and that bad Let's Make a Deal spin-off (can't remember what it's actually called). They just don't keep my attention. It takes great writing and plot developments to keep my attention. I LOVE Boston Legal, the Sopranos, and yes, I hate to admit it - Desperate Housewives. So that makes 3 shows that I like out of a thousands of shows to choose from --- pretty poor! Other than that, I don't watch TV. I am much more engaged when I watch a podcast. Currently, I subscribe to 15 podcasts that I listen to or watch on a daily basis. A little skewed? I think so.

In my humble opinion, I think it's only a matter of time before we see traditional TV programs die a slow, painful death. Long live IPTV! Let the revolution begin!
