Netflix, How I love thee

[littlebluehat]

I have a problem with getting attached to television shows and then having them canceled.  This is why I rarely bother to watch new shows when they premiere.  This leaves me with shows that have proven that they'll last longer than three episodes.  This also leaves me missing out on some great stuff.

That's where Netflix comes in!

Netflix is pretty addictive. I use it to watch cable shows I heard were good but never got to see before. It makes me mad that some of the things I'm most interested in seeing either aren't on there, or are not instantly playable.

I wish I could use the instant watch with Netflix, but if I did I'd probably never do anything else. I have to rely on the postal service to get my addictive entertainment to me.
I also wish they had more old, interesting shows to watch.

Why can't you use instant viewing?

My Netflix account is actually attached to my Dad's account, and when I'm on the site they don't give me the option to watch instantly.

Even if they did, though, our internet service provider limits how much info we can download/process in a day. If we exceed the limit, we've got dial-up speed for 24 hours, which is annoying. Watching video eats up the internet really quick.

That's why I limit myself to a max of 2 You tube videos a day.
