  13. Re:Online on You're Watching Less TV · · Score: 1

    A lot of us are pulling 50-60 hour weeks just to pay the mortgagee, of course were watching less television! Were also reducing costs so we are canceling our cable, newspaper, and magazine subscriptions and using the internet in order to make ends meet. Were also resorting to tape, PVR, Netflix or downloads to catch up on the week. Here's a no-brainer, you want to increase male oriented television audiences? Show male oriented programming at different hours throughout the evening. Right now I have to choose between Star Trek and Smallville on Wednesday nights. I still tune in each week for Alias, Smallville, Angel and Stargate but with summer re-runs, and the cancellation of Farscape, Buffy, Angel, Firefly that's a good 7 hours a week LESS than what I was watching a year ago.

    I'm trying to figure out if this is a public service effort on the part of MS or if MS would just inherit the nightmare that is AOL.
