TV Shows and The Internet
I was looking at the Google Trends this morning guess what I saw all today’s hottest trends were TV shows looking for the episode that was just aired last night. If TV studios were smart they would put the latest episode on their own website the next day so people can catch up. I know you find them on the network website or on Hulu.com but you won’t see them on until the next episode is airing, and I think this is the wrong logic. What does everyone else think about this?
Wouldn’t you want to check out the previous week’s episode if you missed it when you know the new one is airing say tonight? I know I would. I was trying to find episode 2 of Sons of Anarchy but couldn’t find it on Hulu.com because the new episode was on that night and I wanted get caught up but couldn’t find it online. I didn’t want to sit there and go onto a P2P website to wait to download the episode.
Here are the latest Google Trends this morning and it is all looking for last night’s episode.

Previously i thought the internet was just about checking and responding to mail.Now i have realised that it has a lot more to offer.Affiliate marketing is the best i can thinkj of at this time.
Well, I must say you are lucky to live abroad since we in Sweden can’t watch any TV series online due to copyright. It’s really worthless and we either have to wait for it to come a year later on our Swedish television or be illegal..

iphone… yeah .. sure this is very popular stuff… lucky me have one of this great stuff
It’s so amazingly stupid, toward the consumers, that the providers and tv show makers doesn’t figure out something so we can all enjoy (and pay) for the shows that we want to watch.
Heck, I’ve had to break iTunes T&C’s just to be able to PAY for content. If I didn’t, then I could only watch some stupid re-runs on TV or download them illegally, which I’d really prefer not to.

What you’ve observed is very interesting, and you’re probably right: there’s tons of money to be made, attention to be gained, if networks are smarter about putting up their content online.
I will say this though: it doesn’t cease to amaze me how our attention is still focused on TV – perhaps even moreso – in this age of the Internet. One wonders whether we know how to use this technology to its full potential yet.
