This is the end...

It's that time of the year again...season finale time. And, this concept is the one thing that regular television viewing has as a benefit over streaming an entire season of a show on Netflix or Hulu Plus. The reason: Emotion. When burning through an entire season (or multiple seasons) of a show on-line, you don't have that same emotional connection to the characters as you do when tuning into these characters lives on a weekly basis year after year.

Viva La Netflix!

Fringe, Attack of the Show, and 30Rock already aired their series finales as shows like the Office, Breaking Bad, Merlin, and Spartacus plan on wrapping up their fan favorite series within the year. It's the time of year when we learn if our favorite shows will continue on or be shopped around and potentially saved by another network or on-line streaming company.

The Point V2. - Vol. 6 - "Cutting the Cord"

Recently, my wife and I decided to turn in our DVR to release us from the contracts of cable (and those expensive bills). I've had a relationship with cable for most of my adult life. I've had a digital cable and a DVR since I first heard about them. Full disclosure, I did do some experimenting with DishNetwork's DVR service for a year or so, but it didn't work out. I broke up with DishNetwork after we bought our house surrounded by a handful of tall trees. Growing up, my family either had an antenna or satellite television because we lived outside of the city limits, but the minute I moved out on my own, I had cable. With this all being said, we aren't giving up on televison. That would be crazy. No, we're moving on in this age of technology and only streaming our shows on-line.
