Crunchyroll.com streams about 30+ new shows per week out of Japan every season. They're streamed an hour after they air on Japanese network TV.

So... don't watch the news? Blue_Adept Mar 2014 #1
Watch whatever you want. I'm not telling YOU what to watch. Triana Mar 2014 #14
Yes, with a superior attitude. Blue_Adept Mar 2014 #18

I do a lot of that already. Blue_Adept Mar 2014 #15

Just having access to 100 channels increases the time you waste just surfing. Turn the TV off! reformist2 Mar 2014 #38
Or use a DVR? Blue_Adept Mar 2014 #46
It makes even more sense to cut the cable and watch those shows jeff47 Mar 2014 #91
A good option for those that can do it. Blue_Adept Mar 2014 #95

I like the Internet, you can talk back. nt bemildred Mar 2014 #62

So you think you are "big minded" or something because you watch TV? nt bemildred Mar 2014 #82
I would have said that if I meant that. But I did not. You did say it is 'all stupid stuff' Bluenorthwest Mar 2014 #85
You said if I think TV is crap, that's close-minded. bemildred Mar 2014 #87
