Netflix brought me to Doctor Who almost 2 years ago. Took a while to work through that treasure trove of episodes.
My latest find? Supernatural. I knew about the show way back when it first started, but I'd never seen it. Now I'm midway through the 3rd season. Love the music, the brotherly humor, the kick ass '67 Impala, and the occasional visits from dear old dad (Jeffrey Dean Morgan - swoon).
Anyone else go fishing on Netflix and land something good?

I found and watched all episodes of Army Wives and some lawyer show with Glenn Close....can't remember the name now. Oh, and Lie To Me.
I love how the next episode just automatically starts without any prompting from me. Just veg out on the couch and watch episode after episode. Pretty cool set-up.
In my effort to be *concise*, I often come off as blunt and harsh. Sorry, don't mean to be offensive.

I LOVE this show. For all the reasons you mentioned, PLUS, hello Jensen Ackles! I drop references all the time, I know it's super annoying/nerdy and lame but I do it anyway. For instance, recently I was at a local museum that had an artifacts room. It reminded me of some of the episodes I've seen about "cursed objects." I remarked to my friend something about "if this was Supernatural, something would be getting salted and burned up in here." He's not a fan so he didn't get it. He looked at me like this: : l
Anyway, sorry to t/j!
Yea! Someone else who watches Supernatural!
PLUS, hello Jensen Ackles
But surprisingly, sometimes it has heart too.
Does anyone know why it's gone downhill?
Now they have the Cartoon Network stuff, from Samurai Jack to Robot Chicken.
We recently watched all of Psych, working through How I Met Your Mother. If you have not seen Better Off Ted, give it a shot, funny show.
Breaking Bad, The IT Crowd, Brisco County Jr, Metalocalypse, Battlestar Galactica, Rome, The 10th Kingdom, Dead Like Me, Trailer Park Boys, Star Wars: The Clone Wars (though I bought S1-4 cuz I wanted to watch them over and over), Penn & Teller's Bullshit!, Deadwood, Trigun (though we have that on DVD already), Walking With [insert here], Cosmos, Futurama, The Universe, some other series with that guy from Shaun of the Dead... er. Look, it's the only TV we watch. In fact we've only used Netflix for so long I have lost the inherent male ability to operate a remote control when it comes to navigating cable, I always end up on Cartoon Network or some cooking channel.
A few short lived series I've seen are Dollhouse (a Joss Whedon series) Journeyman and Amsterdam (New Amsterdam?) ?
All affairs are variations on a theme. No one has 'Beethoven's 5th' to everyone else's 'Chopsticks'.
Speaking of Netflix: Does anyone know why it's gone downhill?
They lost the starz account, so with that went tons of movies.
From Netflix, I discovered Alias. Had to do it on the discs, but so glad I did!

Right now Netflix is sucking more than usual because they don't seem to understand that a decent GUI is in the top 3 "What is best in life" answers when it comes to streaming video and they are putting money into original content, which means an awkward phase transition. Right now they're all elbows and knees but in a couple years if shit goes well they will be all boobs and smiles. Assuming that show with Kevin Spacey is as good as I hear anyway.
