As a recent cable cord cutter, I welcome the additional content. Cable content became so diluted with infomercials and three minute commercial breaks, it became unwatchable for me. Since cutting the cord, I am now watching much more TV.

I am a HuluPlus subscriber and have appreciated CBS offering Numb3rs on Hulu. I’m more than willing to watch the foreshortened commercial breaks. Advertisers have more impact. I’m willing to pay attention for 15-30 seconds. For restricted content, there’s always the bit torrents. Perhaps CBS is realizing it’s better to make some money, rather than no money.

I didn’t know they were turning this book into a series. It is very visual so there is great potential. Hope the right holders don’t squander away the streaming rights entirely so I can watch it here in Norway in the summer.
