the world, or part of it

We’re living in a busy, on demand world, right? So why cant our TV be stocked on demand for us. It can, and some just dont realize how convenient it is. OnDemand has been available on Comcast (I have Comcast, I’m not sure how long it has been out for others) for over a year, and even though I’ve used it quite frequently in the past, I never realized how convenient it really is. On Friday, I thought to myself, since I had the school day off, that I should make this weekend a Hitchcock one. The only thing holding me back from actually doing it was that I would have to run to the rental store pick up a few films. That is not a very attractive offer, seeing that I dont yet have my drivers license.

My last-ditch effort to keep the weekend plan was to check Comcast OnDemand for any of Hitchcocks films. I scanned through a few sections and the search was fruitless, but then in the last section of OnDemand I checked, there were three Hitchcocks available, free of charge. On Friday night, I enjoyed Rear Window, around noon on Saturday, I watched The Birds, and today, I watched Vertigo. Thanks to the free service my plan was a sucess.

I find that its the little things like this that make On Demand so valuable. I used to watch Monty Python’s Flying Circus on OnDemand a lot last year, but that was before the service matured to what it is today. There is so much more than there was before, and it is nice to know that movie night – or weekend – is even easier.
