SurfTheChannel is mean!

So surfthechannel.com had this announcement up for about the last week or so saying that when they hit their first birthday on Sept. 1st...they would shutting down operations.

I was upset about this because I've come to depend on the site for full television episodes of things like the Big Bang Theory because their parent companies (*cough*CBS*cough*) fail to show the episodes off their website...either that or their players are so bad that it's not worth trying to watch the show. (I've heard that CBS is screwing the Mac users although I don't know if it's all of them).

Well, I went there today and guess what...it was a mean, old joke they played to scare people.

I'm proud of them for making their site legitimate and they have struck deals with major broadcasters to post links to stuff too.

At least I can catch the first season of "Burn Notice" now! FTW!

I'm glad it is too

I just thought it was a wretched trick. It's nowhere near April Fool's.

OMG! It was a JOKE?!? I was all pissy. And you know that isn't the first time they've done that? Sigh. That really annoys me. But glad that they're still around.

Yep, it was a joke. They made an announcement and even increased some of the benefits for members as well as made their source code avaliable for people making video indexing sites.

Sweet! This means I have a site to go to to REwatch Burn Notice! <3's

Awesome! I'm glad they're not going away. It never made sense to me that they would, unless someone was making them do it for legal reasons, in which case it would be a "right away" thing, and not a "we're doing this on our one-year anniversary" type of thing.

Let me know what you think of Burn Notice. I've really enjoyed it.

I definitely will.

I hope to have a chance to watch it soon.
