I don't watch network TV at all, and my regular programming consists of
rotating Netflix disks of Mission: Impossible, Dick Van Dyke Show, Have
Gun Will Travel and Star Trek: Enterprise. (Not comparing that last one
with the others, just never got to see it. ^_^ )
As a result, I have a relatively low-traffic queue, and one series disk
gives me enough for an entire week without the need to rely on shallow
Blockbuster new-release titles--
I still haven't seen the Oscar nominees from two years ago, since most
of my theater-skipped New Releases are buried halfway down a 200+- queue
of TV, Cult and Documentaries.
