It’s late, I am wide awake, I have a lot of work to do, but all I want to do is watch movies, read, watch old tv shows. I am writing a section of chapter on networked spectators, so I went over to Netflix to examine the “Community” features, clicked on “Watch Instantly” and discovered that they have a lot of TV shows, old and more recent, like The Office, 30 Rock,  Heroes, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and Johnny Socko and His Flying Robot! I haven’t watched any yet, and I will try to resist for tonight, but could this be the arrival of the easily and immediately accessible TV archive we’ve all been secretly yearning for?

Oh, and feel free to add me as your Netflix friend.
