Tonight I made a decision I was trying to avoid, getting rid of cable. Granted we had over a hundred channels, but I really only watched maybe ten of them. The kicker was that our cable was out and Charter wanted to still charge $129 for service. How can you justify spending that much on cable you ask? The answer is simple, we liked the children's programming for the little one. So instead of Nickelodeon in the mornings he will have to watch Netflix.
Netflix hasn't been around as long as say Pay Per View, but now what started as an online DVD rental company has changed the way people watch movies and television programming. If Redbox killed Blockbuster, then Netflix is slowly killing cable. Every kind of show you want is now available for only $7.99 a month with no commercials. Granted it's not like they have absolutely anything you want, but there are hours of different things to capture someones interest. Netflix is becoming more of a network like the channel USA Network where they brag about how much original programming they have and how great that is...for somebody I guess.
I remember dating this chick back 2009 and she would order new release from Netflix. We would sit there and cuddle for hours watching what ever and just really enjoying each others company. She had both Netflix, plus cable with all the premium channels to boot. Video streaming wasn't quite there yet so we had to wait for those magic DVDs to come in the mail. Things didn't work out and I'm often reminded of here throughout my week. I hope things are going well for her and I'll never forget those moments we had that seemed like something out of a movie. She was a strong willed puma that was stuck in here ways.
I don't know, maybe she finally gave up cable.
