Oh, I don't want to get hooked watching these. They're saying they could last six-to-eight weeks and I have things I have to do over the next six-to-eight weeks. I harmed parts of my life by watching the Watergate hearings. I even did something that was largely unprecedented in my life: I got up early in the morning.
Fortunately, evolving technology will likely spare me from that sacrifice. In 1973, I couldn't set a DVR to capture the whole thing and then play it back at a time of my choice, even fast-forwarding through the many pointless and repetitive segments. Today, I might not even have to do that because there are clips aplenty online and C-SPAN and other networks replaying stuff all day and into the night.
Still, it's tempting to be there live when something important is said. I hope, I hope, I hope I don't succumb to that…
