One of the things I miss most is American television. Of the American shows that are shown here, most are crap. As for the rest, like C.S.I., they are months behind. Along came Bittorrent. I've heard of people downloading tv shows from the internets - not that I would do such a thing- and watching, say, the latest episode of C.S.I. a few hours after it's aired in the States.
I came across the neatest thing ever today. Searching the internets for episodes of the Twilight Zone (not to download, mind you, just as sort of an educational exercise), I came across this - Planet of the Apes (the movie), re-imagined as an episode of the Twilight Zone. Cool, huh?
