We'll probably getting a lot more use out of our Wii now, that's for sure. And I must admit, I'd been a hold out for so long because I just didn't think we needed it; living without cable has never been an issue, and I like that we fill our time at home with dinner and conversation and games. But sometimes, it's nice to just veg out. And we can only watch through the ten seasons of Friends so many times (we've got through them four times in as many years if I'm not mistaken). So, we bit the bullet, deciding that we'll re-evaluate in a month after the free month trial is over. Truthfully though? I don't see us dropping it. We were amazed by the amount of selections, and especially the diversity of the selections. Darrell was like a kid in a candy shop when he discovered Rocky and Bullwinkle episodes; I insisted that we watch at least the intro to a Veggie Tales episode just so I could sing along with the theme song. Of course, we did spend some time perusing the "grown-ups" selections as well; after much deliberation on what show to start watching, we settled on the pilot episode for Psych and both thoroughly enjoyed it. And we haven't even begun to tap into the selection of movies!
Suffice to say our initial satisfaction with jumping on the Netflix bandwagon is very high. It's a great alternative to high cable bills, and although the selection is totally comprehensive (I would love to see me some Dr. House on there!), it's pretty spectacular for the low cost.
