Yes, I'm not home a lot and hardly watch TV, most of my TV watching is
really late at night via DVD and right now most of my netflix stuff is
TV series I've never seen (I don't even have cable, that's how much TV
I watch). Most of the movies in my queue are from my girlfriend. I have
found that putting a movie in between disk one and two of a TV series
is a better way to make sure you don't get the second disk before the
first. If you have them back to back in your queue, with their awful
service you're bound to get part two first (which happened to me a few
weeks ago which is why I decided to try Blockbuster).
