Spartacus:Another great show only a select few can watch.

Watching TV shows have been apart of my daily life since becoming a communications major.  Whether it be for a class or just for enjoyment.  There are very few shows that i will stop and watch at the time they are showing.  One of those shows is Spartacus.  I watched the first and the mini series on DVD and could not wait to watch the next season when it premiered.  I had a trial of starz that was supposed to end at the end of the newest season but then as a sick joke, Comcast pulled my trial because of some stupid quarrel between Comcast and my apartment building.  I started to think why do some of these shows have to so restricted on who can watch them.  I'm not talking content wise, more as soon as the episode airs, why not have a paid option where you can watch the episode at a $2 cost?  Starz will still get there money and you don't have pay 25 a month for a channel that you would use for 3/4 of the year.  The idea behind these premium channels are very stupid in the aspect that you pay for something that a lot of the movies are 6 months to a year old and it costs you a arm and leg to use them.
