Monk and Psych didn’t air because they had stupid tennis on TV. If it didn’t air, I can’t download it! I am annoyed. I hate sport, why don’t they have special channels dedicated to it and not have sport on any other channel, especailly the ones with TV shows I watch! It completely screwed up my Saturday Night routine.

Fortunately for me, they have changed the Diggnation schedule and I ended up downloading that instead (more about that issue later though) of my normal shows. I watched that and also had plenty of time to spare and watched two movies, Fantastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer and Meet The Robinsons. Both movies were pretty good. Anyway, I do not like having my routine changed, especailly if its a disadvantage to me. Unfortunately my weekly routine will change when the fall shows come and Monk and Psych go into hiatus.

As you should all know, Apple has dropped NBC Shows on iTunes because NBC wanted to increase the cost to $4.99 per episode. Thats an insane $100 plus for a whole season. You can get the DVDs after the season has aired for a quarter the price of that or get it on TV and only have to pay the provider subscription. This is a stupid move and can only lead to a loss for NBC.

In fair honesty, why not pirate it. You get a higher quality than iTunes provides, it’s incredibly cheap to download and you have the freedom to watch it where you want. I admit to downloading TV shows and I don’t think its doing any harm. I don’t have time to watch TV so I end up downloading my shows and watching it before it airs in New Zealand. I also get the freedom to watch a show when I want to watch it and on what device. I am not restricted in any way (except for the speeds I can download at.)

As a Digg user said, “In other news, every BitTorrent site in the world has announced that they’ll still be carrying NBC shows. Enjoy the revenue drop you greedy shits.” No one could have said it any better than that.
