Oh stop it, TapTap. You probably have your VCR/DVR set to record Glee every week.

What's a VCR? I have one word for you, my friend: Netflix.

Aw, TT. Don't waste your money on Netflix. I'll post the pertinent parts for you right here for free.

Screw Netflix. I don't believe in paying for compressed garbage.

Shoot, at $8/month it's as good as free, and it's on demand-viewing, which is the only thing that really works for me. To be honest, though, I have no idea if Netflix carries Glee - haven't looked for that one yet. I'm currently watching the episodes of an old tv show from the late 80's - Beauty and the Beast with pre-Hellboy Ron Perlman and post-Terminator Linda Hamilton.. Soooo romantic!

Up next is Breaking Bad - I know it's fantastic because everyone I know loves it, but I've never seen a single ep! Yet. Oh, and I've only sporadically kept up with the Walking Dead, and will hopefully watch all the eps in order eventually.

Deleted duplicate post.

Someone puts up all the Adam parts of each Glee ep on a Vimeo file, and I have those. He's fantastic on the show!

Here are the ones from Frenemies and Trio:

What I don't understand is how 60+ somethingyearolds behave like they're trying to act like Beliebers. It's disgusting.

Holy crap! No kidding! LOL

$96 a year is as good as free?

I like your logic there. I guess money grows on trees where you come from.

Money doesn't grow on trees, but yeah, I consider $8/month or $96/year as fairly minimal (in this day and age) in exchange for what you get, which is on-demand viewing of a lot of movies and tv shows.  I compare that to my other monthly expenditures - rent, phone, cable, utilities, insurance, car maintenance, groceries, etc. and it comes up pretty favorably, and doesn't impact my budget, really at all.

It's also a pretty small component of the overall monthly entertainment line item in my budget (I budget like a fiend!).  It's convenient and inexpensive, and that's a pretty good trade off for not of the highest digital quality.  Now the flip side is that I really don't know how comprehensive their library is.  I've only had it for 2 months, and I don't use it all that often - like I said, I'm still watching eps from one very old television show.  I guess I'll find out eventually if I'm successful at pulling up whatever interests me at any given time.

I compare it to smokers.  If they haven't switched to e-cigs, they're probably paying $8-10 per *pack*!  And god knows how much their monthly budget is for something that could actually kill them!  I think my measly $8/month expense is pretty good by comparison, all in all.

Sorry.
