Wow - I remember being heartbroken as a kid missing a TV show that other kids saw and were talking about the next day. When would it be on again? Maybe never. Same with Christmas specials -- you made sure you were ready to watch them! Now when we want to watch a family film there's always the hassle of gathering everyone and then some kind of delay and maybe the start time gets pushed back so that it's too close to bedtime and we will watch it a different night. When I think of how exciting it was as a kid I can't help but feel like something is lost using TV on demand.
