Trying to say since the internet now has presented americans with a new age of video is this the summer the Internet kills television. My answer

HELLLLLLLLLLLL NO!!!!!!!! Not in my apartment it's not and I doubt if it ever will. I use both at the same time and will continue to do so. I use the TV to discuss things on the Internet and use the Internet to watch things on TV so it's kind of even entertainment for me.

what about everyone else????

TV is killing TV. There are so many crappy new shows (i.e. REALITY) and the cable channels keep taking off the classic shows. Then they wonder why their ratings are so low. I rarely watch regular TV anymore, except for the news and Jay Leno. I watch the classic shows on DVD instead.

The internet will never be strong enough to kill TV IMO, Like you said TV kill only kill TV, nothing else. But TV picks back up in the fall anyway

if tv didn't kill radio, there's no way the internet will kill tv, partly thanks to all those lawsuits over tv shows being uploaded online.

I thought the internet killed radio?

Jude The Obscure · 08-20-2008, 12:52 PM

Radio is still alive and kicking......I haven't bought satellite radio and don't know if I ever will and streaming audio on the internet hasn't replaced my urge to flip on my old stereo to see what song is being played.

As for TV, only TV is shooting itself in the foot. The sad fact that you can see more classics being on the net streamed or uploaded is an indication that TV is not doing its job. It is neglecting its own heritage as well as the aging American population that helped make TV what it is in the first place. I'm like Monika, I'm watching more and more of my TV on DVD than anything else.

how did the internet kill radio?

if anything, radio and internet kind of go hand-and-hand. there's been a LOT of times radio has introduced me to a song and caused me to go buy it on iTunes. and i listen to the radio online but i still put it on if i'm in the car or something. radio definitely isn't dead.

as for TV...a lot of people watch TV online now so i guess you could say that.

I so agree with you, I hardly watch tv anymore. I don't worry about missing a tv show like I use to worry back in the day.

Same here. I'd rather chew glass than sit through the trash that pollutes TV today. I remember faithfully watching the TGIF block every Friday night, and every Friday night my folks would order pizza. We'd all watch the shows together in the living room. It's a shame that those days are gone forever.

After the guy says "so right", then female backup singers says "so right" then the rest of it is " We're gonna have some fun, show you how it's done TGIF"
