This article is interesting because it discusses how SNL episodes are more popular on the web than on tv. With the recent Tina Fey/Sarah Palin skit, I think that the show has had a boost in viewers. These viewers are likely to re-watch the segments online. In relation to this class, it seems like even the most popular television programs are becoming more internet based. Tv shows like Grey's Anatomy and Lost have entire seasons available online. Through this, the networks websites get more hits, thus increasing their advertisements and other programs. This trend is definitely dominating the internet world and will continue as long as television networks provide such services.
