New Tools for TV Addicts
Friday, 15th June 2007
Upset because you missed an episode of your favorite show? Forgot to set your DVR? Now ShowTime offers “reminders” – they will send you an email or text message on your phone – you sign up and check off the shows you “can’t miss.”
I just find this very amusing. Of course, this didn’t stop me from signing up. It used to be the “season” was over and you’d watch a lot less TV. Now the seasons just keep coming with channels like FX, Showtime, HB0…
All these channels, bizarre new shows, year-round possibilities, digital recorders, and friendly reminders make TV addiction just a little bit, well, stressful
