Yes, NetFlix has had a bit of a glitch lately, considering I usually get my DVDs the next day without a hitch and they have had a bit of a senior moment, but thats okay.
I just finished watching (obsessing) "The West Wing", Season One. I always heard it was amazing, but I never saw it when it was on live. Its a shame really, I would have thoroughly enjoyed seeing this in it's heyday. But alas, this was before the iTunes and same-season DVD release of TV shows.
Previously, when you missed a season of television because you were working, schooling, or stupidly watching an inferior show on another station, you had to try and catch in on summertime reruns...so basically, if you missed the first season, you never watched the show--ever.
Say what you want about technology, but it truely has changed the way people view television and has given shows that normally wouldn't be watched a second glance. NBC's "The Office" was about to be axed by NBC when it was saved by iTunes downloads...it just makes me wonder if "Arrested Development" had DVDs and iTunes, would I still be laughing at bizarre chicken impressions?
I will continue on to Season 2 of West Wing immediately now, and plan on doing the same with Gossip Girl before the 2nd season starts in September. I have never been one to shy away from technology, but I really love instant gratification.
Oh, and DVR is pretty much the best invention of all time.
