Hmmm.... seems like I might be the only person who feels this COULD be a good thing. For instance, most Tivo users are a little tech-headed... therefore... most watch more Sci-fi, and the really good shows that seem to get cancelled after less than a season. Perhaps this could benifit shows like that by showing that people actually DO watch them, rather than all the reality TV crap.
Just a thought. Still wishful that some of the better shows from the past season could have been saved. Damn neilson.
