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.
