I live overseas but have little to no problems watching current sitcoms and shows. Friday (in Asia) is my TV night online because of the Thursday shows. I will watch Young Sheldon, B Positive, Mom, Bob Hearts Abishola (I know this comes on another night but this is the night I see it) and My 600 Pound Life.
If I lived in the USA it would be the same way. Have my IPad, watch my shows commercial free from a website. I basically watch the shows I like in the USA as I do here in Asia.
I suspect a lot of people do the same. The day of having to run home and watch a show at a particular time is long over. We can watch a show at our convenience.
So how does a network know a show is popular or not? Wouldn’t advertisers be upset it this setup? The website I watch stuff from is from Russia and I don’t know where the other ones are from. They make their money through pop up advertisements before the show starts, which is annoying but the price to be paid. This is of course theft from the network but the network won’t allow streaming internationally for some reason I don’t understand but we have this, and I don’t have to wade through five minutes of asinine commercials every ten minutes.
