Top 3 Reasons I'm Glad We Got Cable

[wrenb]

1. Dr Who
2. Heroes
3. Battlestar Galactica
4. Stargate
5. The Daily Show

The Sci-Fi channel is pretty much the only reason we chose to upgrade our cable from the bare bones option to more channels. We've been recording the current season of Dr Who but were waiting to watch it until we'd seen last season. Started watching the 9th Dr last week. Wow. I was blissed out as the theme music came on. It was practically Pavlovian!

We gave up cable entirely. However...

We have my dad mail us Battlestar Galactica and Stargate, and we've been buying The Daily Show from itunes.

I wish we didn't pay so much for cable. But we were bit-torrenting so much that I was starting to feel guilty.

Yeah, I do feel half guilty for the DVDs my dad mails me each week...but only half.

Still, I think I'd go for itunes over cable (batG is on there, and we buy off there when we miss an episode), even if I didn't have the DadCableTV. The whole no-commercials thing is *nice*.

I so rarely watch commercials anymore. It's nice when a recording has them cut out entirely, but fast forwarding through them works ok too. MythTV is my friend.
