Lisa Fary's earliest influences are Princess Leia, Rainbow Bright, Astronaut Barbie, and her 6th grade teacher, Ms. Palmer. She's angry that it's 2011 and she still doesn't have a hovercraft, but will accept a jetpack as consolation. That jetpack had better be pink with a rhinestone monogram. 3 Comments

How exactly, then, do they account for the massive market for shows that were initially on commercial TV being released on DVD without ad breaks? Given the choice between watching a show I enjoy in syndication or on DVD is really no contest.
And then there are people like my friends and me who deliberately let the DVR get a 15-20 minute head start so that we can fast-forward through the commercials (and usually finish at about the same time as the live broadcast, I might add). I can tolerate the one-commercial mini-breaks on Hulu, Fancast, etc. because it's a free service and too many shows I like are pitted against each other in the broadcast schedule. (Seriously, why is everything on at 8 o'clock on Monday?!)
“People often adapt to the experience of watching television such that each successive minute is slightly less enjoyable than the previous one."
Only when I'm watching Heroes! Ba-zing!
But seriously, what kind of wonky logic is that? Tension builds as the show goes on, it doesn't fade away.
