   And that's exactly the point of the site.  AOL/TW isn't getting rich off the   
   site's ad revenue.  It's there to generate interest in TV DVD box sets,   
   where the profit margin is considerably higher.  The episodes themselves are   
   more of a commercial than the actual commercials embedded in the stream.
