Heard this was really good. I'm too cheap to pay for Showtime/HBO so I only catch it when I am in hotels.
However I buy every season of the best shows on TV and watch them in a row which I have found is both the rise and fall of TV as we knew it. It will be in the very near future that the "big networks" are going to have to think outside the box and stop canceling good shows because the out of date Nielsen ratings suck for the show. The ratings do not account for iTunes sales, their own site viewings since most networks have the last 2-4 episodes on their websites of most shows for people to be able to catch up on, nor does it account for DVR. So my favorite show Jericho would still be around based on the above mentioned things that should be counted.
I've pretty much stopped watching TV for the fact that I can wait until the DVD comes out or I have the ability to watch it on "my own time" and not be set to a schedule. The sooner the networks understand this and embrace this, the better programming we will get.
Shows I watch or watched - 24, American Dad, Family Guy, Entourage, Heroes, Prison Break, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, The Simpsons, South Park, Law & Order, and Las Vegas
I'd love to hear what others think of my theory.
