This morning , we woke up toa post - Saturday - Morning - Cartoons America . That got plenty of us talking about our former idiot box watching routines , and that made me wonder : In an earned run average of on - need , roving , pour content , do you still watch TV shows when they air ?
Not long ago , that would ’ve been a foolish inquiry . If you liked The Sopranos , and the young sequence aired Sunday night at 10PM , you ’d ride your ass down to observe it at 10PM on Sunday night .
But now we ’ve got stream TV , on - demand goggle box , ways of watching brand - newfangled episode of wildly popular TV show without even owning a television set . That ’s part of why the tradition of a four - hour block of Saturday dawn toon has died : Kids can look out their favorite instalment of their favored shows whenever , wherever . Advertisers are n’t gon na blow money on Saturday morning time slots if kids ’ eyeball are glued to their parents iPads .
Personally , I love watching clobber on - demand — I’m currently on a bad Bob ’s Burgers give up , pop on an instalment whenever I ’m doing laundry or cleansing household — but I finger like there ’s something , I dunno , anti - societal about it . And when it come to young episode of TV shows , I ’m a diehard : When frantic Men returns , I ’ll be deform off my phone and zoning in on the TV to see it live , rather than on - demanding it even a day later .
