Up until a few weeks ago, FOX tv's shows could be seen on MySpace, where for the most part they played flawlessly. It was nice, but those days are gone.
Instead FOX has launched "Fox OnDemand," and let me just tell you that it sucks. There are the usual incredibly boring commercials (oh, and you'll have to watch the same commercial at least six times to get through an hour-long episode). If I see Jessica Alba's underwear one more time I'm going to have to hurt someone. But the thing stalls and hangs unpredictably. Every once in a while you'll be going along without a care in the world, and suddenly the show starts stuttering. It's like a cellphone conversation in an intermittent service area. And then eventually the show just stops.
And we can all see what's happened, here. They put the shows on MySpace while they developed their OnDemand player. All the other channels have OnDemand players now. And the new season is starting. So whatever poor team was tasked with delivering this OnDemand player was forced to deliver it now, even though it's piss poor and generally not ready for prime time. Dude, bad project management really sucks.
