Move Over, HBO

So for the past few years, I have had a standing date on Sundays at 9 PM with HBO. Sopranos, Sex and the City, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Rome, Carnivale, Deadwood...all the best shows on tv, all on Sunday night at 9. However, Rome was the most recent show and it ended a while back. The Sopranos doesn't start until March. What does a girl do? Seriously, HBO...I'm out in the cold over here!

Then, I discovered something. I got it for free for two weeks. Netflix. You go to the website and pick out DVDs and they send them to you. When you're done, you send them back and they send you another one. Good deal. For less than $20 a month, I can see as many movies as I want! And with my HBO relationship on hold, Netflix is a great backup. Almost too good! They recomend movies based on what you already watched...Oy. I sound like I'm getting paid to adevertise here...I should call their marketing office and ask if I can get a cut.

But really. When there's nothing on tv, Netflix is a very good companion. 24 starts up next week and the tortured soul competition will be on. Until then, Netflix...send me what's next.
