Viddling Around™

If you’re a fan of the show (and if you’re not - it’s worth Tivo-ing - or better yet - buying an episode) USA Network’s highly-regarded show “The Dead Zone” is now available on the ITMS. Once again, I think that along with shows like Battlestar Galactica, this is the smart transitional move for networks like USA until we reach a total VOD universe. The show’s good - it’s got enough of a following to keep it on the air, but let’s face it - cable’s ratings suck. Hell, if it weren’t for Tivo and other DVRs, how much of this programming would actually get watched anyway?

Moving it to the ITMS for $1.99 an episode is a smart move. Making several episodes available free - like select ‘hit’ episodes of earlier seasons, can serve to expand the audience. Anyone listening over there at USA?
