"that dreadful and needlessly profane Comedy Central Roast series"? For real? It's an odd throwback to the comedy 'boys' club' / Shriners roasts of the ancient 1950's or whenever, but I really enjoy seeing the comics (and random celebs they could get to show up) rip on each other no-holds-barred, and you can tell they really enjoy it too. And you'll not see a filthier (unbleeped!) show on US TV any time soon. You say 'needlessly profane' like it's a bad thing.
It all depends on whether the pricing plan is ala carte or all you can eat.
As someone who has watched five episodes of Ii>It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia in a row and gone on long Sarah Conner Chronicles benders, it makes a difference.
If I had wanted to pay for that crap, I would have 'bought' it from iTunes or waited for the inevitable DVD.
I wouldn't have a problem with this if the price is reasonable (less than 5/month), there were no commercials, and most importantly they kept all episodes of a show. It really burns my butter that I can't watch Fringe from the beginning!
It's not not on the agenda? Which means it is on the agenda?
Anyway, their loss if they start charging. They should think back and remember why they started up this site in the first place. It wasn't because people were paying for this content on that "other" video site.
@DorothyBarker: If you're betting they will, yeah, sure, I like winning money as much as the next person. Otherwise, it's like asking people to bet you that Obama won't win the election. They're hardly going to go to the mat for a SAG contract that allows them not to do that and then turn around and get philanthropic out of the kindness of their hearts.
@MissNormaDesmond: Um... the is what the Writers Guild Strike was about last year? There is a formula now for streaming shows that are under a WGA contract.
@Carol Gardens: And? I'm not understanding your point. Even if we grant that the WGA deal was a good one for the WGA, they're not "all the creatives", and SAG's getting screwed.
@MissNormaDesmond: Oh, I'm agreeing that they won't share unless forced to. Just pointing out that WGA got some movement on the issue because they were willing to got through that strike. I miss the inflatable rat.

Besides, the bible has people named Ham and Nimrod.
On top of this, the Mormons believe that Joseph Smith received the text of the Book of Mormon on golden tablets delivered by an angel named Moroni.
