But I do miss Family Guy and American Dad which - despite all the repeats - I used to enjoy watching most nights before retiring. My broadband is well capped - too low for watching stuff online 'live' so to speak - so I guess its over to a seedbox and torrenting. Strange attitude of the Beeb to actually force viewers to have to do this though. And I wonder if the BBC 3 yoof market can be ar$ed to watch stuff 'live' too. Somehow with modern lives so ephemeral I doubt it. Massive FAIL for the Beeb. CJB
