My wife and I watch The Daily Show most nights - not live when it airs (my goodness, that's way past our bedtime) - but the next evening. If we miss one, we have a twofer. This would not be possible if I didn't have a PVR; if I was still in VHS world, I'd be lost in tape and likely wouldn't bother.
My friend Peter watches it online, and in chunks. He's not alone, according to a new Wired article that looks at how Stewart & Co. are changing television:
Between blog links and BitTorrent downloads, hundreds of thousands of people watch clips online each day rather than on TV. In other words, in form if not in tone, Stewart's Daily Show offers a glimpse of what all TV may one day become: something we can consume in many distillations, at a time, place, and device of our choosing.
