This is what TiVo or another personal video recorder is for! You can just pause and continue. These things are the best thing since, well, film and definitely have changed the way I watch TV. Nothing like pausing or going back to catch something that was missed. It did, however, lead to an interesting situation where my son called to discuss the end of the World Series and I was still watching it -- having paused for a while and I was about 10 minutes behind! A weird feeling. > 2) Commercials on commercial television are often much better than the > shows they are in. As George Will once wrote, they are the most > believeable part of television. Well when you think about it the production values of a TV commercial are vastly higher than most television productions or even films. With the exception of the most recent, I have really liked the VW ads over the past few years. Now we need a Leica ad!
