You know that we don't have television at ChezNaked. Well, we have a television, but no cable television hook-up beaming us with all the channels all the time to keep us happy happy happy. Nor do we have Tivo or any of that OnDemand stuff.
We've managed quite all right though for a home without television. We've been downloading shows using bit torrent (thanks Dave Winer) and so I've been watching Gilmore Girls every week just like everyone else and am so happy that Lorelai left Christopher (god that was just AWFUL). Also, you can rent whole seasons of television on DVD from Netflix, so I've been also catching up on Grey's Anatomy (it's actually a very good show) and DearSweetDave and I have been enjoying Arrested Development. What a fun show that was! It's always the fun quirky shows that get canceled.
Our lives may have just changed, however. It may be that our asses are going to grow even wider now that we have discovered this!
Check that out, oh fans of Nakedjen. That, perhaps, is one of the coolest things I have found on the Internet yet. Television on Demand. For your computer. And if you're like me, and your computer hooks up to your television, well, then it's Television on Demand for your computer that you can enjoy and watch on your TV!
The shows you want. When you want. Just like those people who have cable and Tivo.
Now we're like the cool kids. Only, I think we were actually cooler than the cool kids when we didn't have TV. So I'm not sure what we're like now, quite honestly.
But I'm not ditching the link. There's more episodes of Grey's to watch.

Hiya, Naked!
I finally got my login credentials reconfirmed, so now I can play!! :-)
I was going to pretty much echo what Suz said, except that I AM a shameless TV junkie which is the main reason the Home family is, like you, sans TV (we get our fix by watching DVD's on the computer). Not a one in the house. But now? NOW?? Oh goodness. I'm in trouble. Self control? Yeah, right!

Might I suggest http://network2.tv for your butt? Rather than sacrifice your ass to the couch, Network2 is an online TV guide that will send everything to your portable media device.

Thank you! Curse you! Er, thank you! How did I not know about this? I'm thanking you not because I'm a shameless TV junkie, but because I missed the pilot episode of The Riches, and now... I haven't.
