The times they are a changin'. The way we watch the TV shows of the future is not going to be like it has been in the past. We won't all be watching live tv to see our favorite shows. In fact, we won't even have to videotape them or Tivo them. One way or another they are going to end up on our computers and handhelds and media centers.
Walt Disney/ABC sees the future, and they've decided to start work on becoming the "network of the future." They are going to be launching "My ABC," which "will provide consumers with the opportunity to download shows free of charge." It will be supported by ads, just like live TV is. And I suppose people will often skip the ads just like they do now, but we all seem to know about the funniest commercials so somebody's watching them!

And if you are interested in old TV shows, don't forget that AOL has some
treats coming for us soon with many top notch online TV series. Rumor has it that you won't have to be an AOL customer to watch, but we won't really know that until rollout.
