The 10 part mini series called Sleeper Cell debuts tonight on Showtime. It looks interesting and I will watch it hopefully on Comcast OnDemand as each episode makes it onto the system. With VCRs, DVRs and OnDemand I can watch what I want when I want. What a great time to be a TVaholic. What will you be watching and how will you be watching it?
