I guess they could make the first 2-3 episodes of a new show free, so you can try them before you have to subscribe to them.

Seems like Zune / Xbox is doing this now. At least for the Pilot shows. Ive watched a couple that were free on ABC and NBC. If you want to watch the 2nd episode, you pay.

Im like you. If there is a show I want to watch, I would rather buy the season, and sit down in a couple of sessions and watch it. I dont schedule anything with TV except for some sports like the Bears. If watching the Bears was a subscription, I would pay. Same goes for a news channel.

I will say that it is interesting how the dynamics of Music has changed. When we were kids we would hear about new bands and music on the radio. My kids keep introducing me to new music I like, that Ive never heard of, and isnt on the radio at all. That's the future of TV too.

Channels are like studio's, and shows are like bands, and the episodes are like songs.
