Burning Television

When I lived in San Francisco I spent a lot of time watching TV. When you're a nightowl it's an easy companion that's always awake when you are. It was also pretty much always on at my house with three roommates and either you joined in the viewing or it was joining you. Since moving to Los Angeles I haven't had the set on at all. For starters, none of the cable companies serve my area. It's a Los Angeles thing I've yet to understand - which left with me with my only option being going satellite. And I confess I tried ordering the Dish Network several times in my first few days here and the order kept failing. Eventually I took it as a sign and most of the time I haven't missed it at all. Then I found out that a new season of Burn Notice had started. And I wasn't happy about missing out on Jake's adventures on The Bachelor. Enter Hulu. Now I'm watching only my most favorite shows and doing it online - which feels incredibly modern. I've subscribed to Burn Notice, The Bachelor, Caprica, Lost, Brothers and Sisters and Ugly Betty. Thanks Hulu, not only for the service, but for saving me a few bucks too.
