Thankfully we discovered all three seasons of Brotherhood after the fact and almost inhaled it. It was an absolutely great show. We just watched Modern Family recently which is a dramedy and of course it’s off air for a little while so who knows when we’ll see it again. They hook you then they screw you.

We already do, to some extent. That’s how we watch Survivor. (I know, I know, but the kids are totally into it and love trying to guess who’s going down.) Bottom line is, it’s a lot less money to have Netflix, and we watch things when it’s convenient for us, instead of living life around a tv schedule. I think the only thing that’ll be missed is American Idol, as the kids are big fans of that too, but I’m not willing to pay $720 per year for 4 months of one show. Not worth it.

Think of network TV as the bestseller list - to keep a show on network it needs a lot (a lot) of viewers. Cable can get away with fewer viewers and more niche material. You couldn’t imagine “Breaking Bad” coming on ABC after “Desperate Housewives,” could you? Think of the phone calls they’d get.

It really looks like soon you’ll be able to use your internet connections and do away wth the DVDs altogether.

Yes, it is. It was extremely well done.

We really liked Brotherhood. Especially season one but all of it. It’s a darn shame.

I’m with you Kevin. We went one step further, and canceled cable. Now, we don’t check out a show until it’s on DVD and we get it via Netflix. That way, if the first few episodes don’t hook us we just move on, but by the time the DVD comes out you usually know if the show still has legs. The way the networks move the shows drives me nuts.

We’re still waiting for the second season of Breaking Bad. The only other recent show we’ve started is Fringe.

Watched all three seasons via NETFLIX and enjoyed them. Shame they shut it down.

If it is on network TV, I just don’t watch it the first season until I see if it makes it. We really liked a crime show set in NO after Katrina that ran on FOX a couple of years ago (the name escapes me) and they kept moving it until they finally killed it. After that, I swore I would never let them hook me into something again until I was sure it would live for awhile.

And so I sit here waiting for the second season of HUFF to finally make it to disc.
