A televisual dilemma (yes, another one)
So I have been waiting, with some interest, to see Studio 60 on Sunset Strip.
It's the new(ish - remembering we live in the backwaters where Curb your Enthusiasm is considered late-night viewing) show by Aaron Sorkin, starring the excellent Bradley Whitford* and The West Wing via Friends star, Matthew Perry.
read the rest
But now here is my dilemma.
CHANNEL NINE HAS THE GODDAMN RIGHTS.
Yes, you heard me. CHANNEL NINE.
Those dudes that, in their programming wisdom, screened The West Wing at an insane 10:30pm time-slot. Those dudes that seem to be programming endless hours of inane commercial re-runs and "whoops-a-daisy" style shows right now. Those dudes that, frankly, I do my darnedest to avoid.
I don't know, I'm a committed teev watcher and all that, but I'm thinking....maybe I should just buy the DVD?
* Whitford is also married to the awesome Jane Kaczmarek. I like to consider them some kind of alternative Brangelina.
* I even once considered watching 'Revenge of the Nerds III' when I heard Whitford was in it - don't worry, I'm not THAT tragic

if I could find any that weren't the size of postage stamps)

Buy the DVD Gigglewick - and then lend it to me. I am refusing to watch commercial tele anymore as they annoy me with their silly political ads and moving the shows I like to stupid timeslots. Aside from SYTYCD of course.
KR,
will do. I can't find it yet, but the moment I do, it will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.
There is something very satisfying about watching something on TV though, I can't explain it.
Well a DVD is watched via a TV? Or do you mean the ads and appointment viewing aspect?
Appointment viewing.
There's something about the urgency to sit down and watch a show that I enjoy.
Mr Fix and i have, on more than one occasion, watched a movie on television that we OWN on DVD.
What the hell is that all about?
You subconsciously like the ads?
I think it's like the difference between listening to a CD and hearing your favourite song on the radio ... when something I love comes on TV, it's like, yeah, appointment viewing.
