netflix

[CrankyOldBugger]

But back to the original question....  I asked if Netflix was worth the
money as I watch very little TV (Big Bang Theory, Dr. Who, some hockey, CTV
News) but Wifeski is a big fan of the daytime talk shows like Marilyn Denis
and Steven and Chris.  Could she get those shows on Netflix?

As to movies, I torrent and/or I go to the store and buy the DVD.

So is the $8 or $10 or whatever it is worth it for me?  I realize it's a
big improvement over the $80 I was paying for Bell satellite, but still....
