TV on the Web: Trial but mostly error

TelevisionWeek contributor Daisy Whitney has been blogging on the technology of TV. It's not your usual techno-geek blog, either; she tries out Web sites and new video gear kind of the way you and I would.

She's been having a hell of a time accessing the streaming video of TV shows on MSN (which is showing NBC's "Kidnapped"), among other outlets.

This bodes badly for the networks. If technologically adept users like Whitney can't figure out how to watch TV programs easily on the Web, what does that say about the average user?

Hi Aaron:

So glad that you're reading the TVWeek blog!

What’s working for me:

1. "Generation Kill." I don't know how "realistic" it is, but it's certainly faithful to Evan Wright's book about a band of Marines' harrowing duty in Iraq.

2. "Psych" on USA. The most underrated comedy on TV (now that "30 Rock" has its Emmy) returns Friday.

3. Sami Al-Haj back at Al-Jazeera. Needlessly detained at Gitmo for six years, the cameraman will now head up the Arabic channel's new human rights desk.

... AND WHAT'S NOT

1. "The Cleaner." Ben Bratt's new A&E drama shows what happens when you cross the "Intervention" reality show with cheese classic "The A-Team": You get a mess.

2. Press restrictions in China. The Olympic hosts will allow live coverage from Tiananmen Square six hours a day — including 9-11 p.m., when protests are unlikely to embarrass officials.

3. Tony Snow, RIP. He was a bright spot at a time when Republicans and the White House were under an ever-present dark cloud.
