Thomas Werner Assignment 5: Watching TV

I don't watch TV. I have nothing against it, but when the world wide web provides every stream I need at my disposal, I have no urge to sit down at a certain time, watch only the episodes the scheduled dictates, and be tricked into buying more floam.

With the emergence of dominant streaming serives such as Netflix, HBO, Hulu, and the other sites that fill in everything in between, the need for cable television has become obsolete to me. There is still the fleeting claim to fame of TV that they have the major deals, and therefore put out the content first. But not only is that interval from air to internet bearable for me, that last grasp the major networks have is also slipping away. Now services such as Netflix are creating their own shows, combining the television production value with straight to streaming convenience. Soon cable will be something of the past.

As for my favorite TV shows: Rick and Morty, It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia, The Office, Trailer Park Boys, and Top Gear.
