    LOVE IT!


    the only 'negative'....as a long-standing and frequent DVD returner to get more per month, they do slow down your mailings, and hold back the new releases more. :mad: however, in comparison to all else, the are the BEST! especially nowadays, all we have left local is blockbuster, and i hate blockbuster.

    I finally have a good reason to check my mail. The mail man was getting tired of me threatening his life for putting bills in there anyway..

    I did a study on this in University, and while they have thought of expanding into Canada, they still have not yet.

    I don't think we have had any business try this successfully yet, so Netflix could totally corner a market here if they brought their buisness model up here

    What about all the tv shows you wanted to see but never did? Now's your chance! Tv on DVD is the best thing ever.

    And, you can try netflix for free if you want.

    THE WONDER YEARS !

    hmmmm...i wonder if they are a franchise or how their business model works? food for thought eh.......




    it does annoy me that they don't clearly advertise the latest new releases for the week, as they used to do, and also the aforementioned holding back on DVDs, but in comparison to their competition...still head and shoulders above.

    I know...I've become quite spoiled with tv as well. I'm currently watching House, MD thanks to Netflix and dread when I'm all caught up...then I'll have to watch it with commercials on REGULAR tv! :eek:

    I did that with 24. Very unhealthy habit. It was like a drug. Then I got caught up, and when watching the newest season on television, at the end of a show, I became angry because I had to wait an entire week instead of going to the next episode.

    Both are good, but last season of 24 sucked. You are correct that Lost is great! I'm totally hooked to that show. I will even watch it on television and not wait for the DVD to be released.

    i've heard/read good things about that show. perhaps we should start renting it too. need some new stuff to watch. we don't watch tv, don't have cable...so yea....DVDs are it for us. hubby and i occasionally watch PBS, but really....that's what makes netflix so great, you can get just about everything now on DVD!


    i know for sex and the city...again, i've never had cable...so renting the DVDs is how i watched the show. sure, i was always a season behind, but i didn't care. it is dangerous tho...sit and watch 3 hours straight, simply b/c you can! :p

    I'm completely and utterly obsessed with LOST. I'll admit it. I own it all on dvd.

    Topic integrity: It's amazing how many badass documentaries are out there that I never would've known about if it hadn't been for netflix!!

    I love the documentaries. I'm a huge jazz fan, and rented a Ken Burns documentary on the history of jazz. Great stuff!

    Have you seen the HBO mini series on John Adams? I'm watching that right now. It is quite good.

    Hmm..no I have not...but guess what?! I'm going to go add it to my QUEUE right now. (That was for you, d2d!)

    Also, I'm SUUUUUUUCH a dork. My roomate saw my queue and that half of my movies were docs...she won't stop making fun of me. I watched a 3 hour doc on the mormon church...fucking fascinating!!
