Tube Storage

From Eric Snider's blog on the recent strike of the Writers Guild of America:

Q: What can I do to occupy myself when the TV landscape becomes barren?

A: Hopefully you’ve been practicing what I call tube storage. Tube storage is where you choose a show you like — and then don’t watch it. Instead, save up the episodes on your DVR, to be viewed during times of famine. Usually, it’s for summertime. While others are suffering through reruns, you’re enjoying fresh, original programming. If you haven’t been saving up some TV to watch, now might be the time to start. You might have to ration your TV viewing the next couple months and save up as much as you can for the hard months of the strike.

I guess you could read a book, too, but whatever.
