Yeah, that cleared it right up. :confused:

Let me try to make it easier for you:

The combination of your words, as currently structured, do not lend themselves to anything remotely resembling cogent thought at least in my ability to so perceive.

I'm not sure what's so difficult to understand in what I wrote. I don't enjoy shows where failure is minimum and success always occurs.

Only two episodes in, and I'm officially "all in" on Scorpion. With my professional background being largely IT in general, and InfoSec in particular, one might think that I'd hate this show, and one would be loud wrong. This is not only my favorite new show this season, this is my favorite show since they cancelled Chuck. I'm all in for this show until it gets cancelled which, with my track record, will probably be next week.

Every critic, and I do mean every critic, either online or in print, is killing this show. And they - to quote the great Mexican philosopher Bender Bending Rodriguez - can bite my shiny metal ass.

How many people on here actually have Cable? There's a downward spiral of people cancelling cable services in order to cut costs. They are presented with alternatives such as Netflix and Hulu but it's not very helpful for one who mainly watches sports on TV.

I'm not a "sports" fan, but I'm a basketball junkie, so I'm not cutting cable until ESPN makes their TV content available without a cable subscription. As of right now, WatchESPN is only good for content that's ESPN3-exclusive; anything that is simulcast on an ESPN TV network is not available over WatchESPN without and cable/satellite TV package that includes ESPN. League Pass and TNT Overtime covers about eighty-five percent of the games, but those other fifteen percent are pretty significant.

Which sucks big time, because there's literally nothing that I watch besides basketball that I have any use for cable for: I don't really watch movies at all, WWE Network can cover all of my wrestling watching needs, and everything else I watch comes over-the-air, and since I don't (and won't) ever live out in the boonies, I can get all of that with a good pair of rabbit ears.

I mean, seriously, set me up with an HD digital antenna, WWE Network, Broadband League Pass (and WNBA Live Access for the summer) and Hulu Plus, and I have absolutely no use for cable, except for those ESPN games. That'd cut my entertainment budget by about $1800 a year.

The only reason I still have cable is because NBA League Pass and the ESPN channels so I don't miss any College Basketball and Football games as well as NFL of course. Like you, I do not watch any movies or shows on TV I let torrents take care of all that for me. Hulu or some type of streaming media needs to come out with these Sport channels, but I don't see that happening anytime soon because then all these Dish Networks and cable companies would be going out of business, so they are trying to hang on by every thread possible.

PS; I love the IFC, Fuse and History channels but those cost extra to attain o_O

Well, I won't torrent, as a matter of principle. I have no problem with paying for content, I just don't like paying for content I'm not going to use. I totally agree with you about Hulu offering sports, though. In fact, my double main man, Hidden Dragons, cut cable from his life just last week, in part because he was sold a bill of goods about availability of sports through Hulu Plus. I've decided to let him be my guinea pig; when he reports that WatchESPN has become available through Hulu, that's when I'll cut cable.

Well only thing with the Hulu Plus providing WatchESPN, there still lies a problem with the ABC/TNT/NBA TV/NFL Network channels because it's perfect for someone who is particularly looking to follow one sport instead of multiple ones.

Fortunately for me, that describes me pretty well. :D

I really wish that I could find an active community on the internet where I could go to discuss my favorite TV shows, that isn't overrun by fourteen year-old girls (i.e. Livejournal) or cretins (i.e. Reddit).

Try previously.tv. I think that is where a lot of people flocked after Television Without Pity was shut down. I am not a poster there, but I have gone there a few times just to lurk.
