And among those things they're doing to piss off viewers is adding more commercials to streaming and VOD--if Warners sells their Chuck Lorre sitcoms and "Broke Girls" to Netflix for streaming commercial-free and if people are watching those shows that way, even if they can see "Big Bang" reruns six times a day between their local station and TBS, it should say something to the parent network to go that route (and while I'm at it, Les, once HBOGo opens up officially to non-cable subscribers, you better have Showtime Anytime open up to non-cable subscribers, too).
