To me, the opposite is true. The ability to sequentially watch certain series is made easier by these alternative methods of viewing. I started buying up the DVDs of "Stargate" last November and now I own the entire collection (both SG1 and Atlantis, as well as the DVD movies). I liked the show when it aired, but when it started I didn't have Showtime, and the syndicated airings never seemed to be on at the same day or time. If the argument that, ratings-wise, alternate sources negatively impact the initial airings of shows with continuing story-arcs, I'll agree with that, but no more than they impact other shows, and possibly less. Reality shows, for example, do not turn as big a profit in after-broadcast media as scripted series. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Like TV only smarter.
