It goes without saying that nickmitch had always considered himself a TV Man. Growing up, he was a master of the basic cable schedule, always knowing the best program on any time of day.
With the advent of streaming services nickmitch tried to adapt and adjust but it never really felt right. Netflix and other streaming services spoiled these entitled millennials and zoomers, letting them watch shows whenever they want, he thought. Nickmitch missed the routine and ceremony of cable with it's reliable cadence of commercial breaks. The closest thing Nickmitch could find to solace was through Hulu + Live TV. Of course when friends and family came to visit they still deferred to the on-demand selection and binging that has grown so popular. Secretly nickmitch had some dude working within Hulu to slowly chip away at the various corporate partners in hopes that a single owner would wrangle control over the viewership. In his personal life things got much darker as nickmitch initiated draconian house rules for all TV watching, whereby shows could only be seen on the same day and time as they would normally be broadcast. Failure to abide by such regulations resulted in guests wearing plain outfits of a single color as punishment.
Eye witness reports leaked photos of people forced to wear red dresses after watching Monday night football on a Tuesday morning. Nickmitch's reign of terror started to come apart when the dude that nickmitch hired ended up succeeding in the consolidation tactics at Hulu corporate resulting in a mass exodus of all the popular shows that made guests willing to put up with nickmitches fashionist tendencies.
In the end nickmitch was all alone suffering from rules so strict even he could not avoid breaking them. By the time we heard about this, the ascetic lifestyle had taken its toll with nickmitch having gouged out his own eyes to keep himself pure from what he referred to as the "tainted detritus" of modern TV. We have been notified by nickmitch that he can no longer take part in this panel, but with the use of screen reading technology he plans to stay active in the NWR forums. Stay tuned for season five....
