“I don’t even watch network TV, as it turns out. Nor cable.
Canceled my DISH subscription a year ago. I get all of my content
off of the intertubes. But regardless, let’s start with American

is really, really hot, but let’s just pretend for a moment.
Further, let’s suppose that you missed last week’s episode, so now

to catch it. After a quick search and a couple of video
advertisements you find the link to last week’s episode.

“You click it.”
