I just watched it and it's kind of cool. It's moving to Friday now. I'll be watching it a couple more times to make sure I really like it before I commit to the rest of the season.

I was unaware there was a commitment involved in a TV show.

I set my TiVo to season pass it.

I enjoyed it.

for me it's a commitment. I already have stuff recording set on my VCR almost every day of the week. You're lucky you have a TiVo but I don't so I'd have to budget my tape.

Pfft. Forget VCRs and TiVOs, it's all about BitTorrent. Commercial free and in high definition.

You should get TiVo.

@ Keith - Bit Torrent only plays on your PC though.  And it can't possibly be in HiDef.  Do you realize how big a HiDef video file is?  And even if it were in HiDef you couldn't WATCH it that way on your TV.  Only on your PC and PC monitors just aren't made to watch movies.

OR! :rosie: You could burn them to VCD or a DVD.  I do want a tiVo, especially now since the 40-hour tiVo is $99 at Best Buy, it would great to not have to use my VCR to record my soap operas.

Yeah I should get TiVo but until I do TV shows are a commitment for me.

neither VCD nor DVD do HiDef quality video.  Not even CLOSE to it, in fact.

TiVo is the cheap right now.  And it's the greatest invention EVAR!

Actually, sir this of Grak, if you use the compressed video and audio codecs, you CAN, in fact, fit two hour-long shows on a DVD-R in HD quality










Actually, I have no idea what I'm talking about

Anyhoo, Entertainment Weekly gave this show a B-

LOL.

Yeah.  DVD players can't read HD video.  DVD video standard is much lower quality than HD.  Mpeg-2 is the compression used by DVD's and it is lower than the HD standard.

Also, if you compress an HD stream you lose quality, so it stops being HD.

You might be able to fit the video FILE on a DVD.  But you couldn't read it in a DVD player.

THat's why we already have Super-DVD coming out in a year or two.
