The Golden Globes triumph of Amazon's online series "Transparent" highlights the increasingly blurred lines between televion and the Internet. "Transparent," which tells the story of a transgender father and his family, was crowned best comedy series at the Globes, a first for an online series, while its star Jeffrey Tambor won the best actor prize in the same category. Last year his on-screen partner Robin Wright earned the first major category prize for an online-only video service, starting a trend which is clearly continuing this year. Viewers now want to watch their favorite TV show not at a fixed time imposed by TV schedulers, but where and when they want, by Video on Demand (VOD) or streaming on their television, computer, tablet or smartphone.
