What’s on the Internet tonight?

Last 100‘s Daniel Langendorf asks himself: “Is the Internet the fifth major TV network?”
I figure we’ve had a powerful fifth network for years: HBO, home of “The Sopranos”
But if we’re ruling out pay cable and The CW (yes, let’s), this is a perfectly legitimate academic just-for-grins rhetorical question.
Here Daniel gets good and worked up over some pop content that’s caught fire.
I’m excited to “tune in” to an Internet “channel” like MySpace or YouTube to catch the season finales of shows like “LonelyGirl15″ and “Prom Queen,” just like I was anxious to see what happened in the network finales of “Lost” and “Heroes.” I’ve even caught myself during the day wondering, “What’s on the Internet tonight?”
All things TV eventually will be distributed via the Internet or its successor anyway, but there you have a fun concept to debate over a couple of Red Bulls. What did we talk about before the Internet, anyway?
