TV shows on streaming Netflix is really what making cutting out cable so easy. I don't think I'd ever go back. We favor TV shows because they are 20 minutes of 40 minutes; plus you can watch the next episode right away if you want. I also think TV can be better than movies. You can really connect with the characters. You can rent or buy almost any movie, but 6 seasons of anything costs so much. a lot of shows merit multiple viewings. Lots of Shows are hard to really enjoy unless you start from the beginning: Arrested Development Firefly Parks & Rec. Fringe (not on streaming)
