M – We’ve never seen that show, but maybe we’ll give it a try. Prior to getting Netflix, the only TV show I’d ever consistently watched was The Office, which we used to watch on Hulu. Once we got Netflix, we tried Lost, as it was highly recommended by the Netflix algorithm based on other stuff we liked. We loved it, and watched the first five seasons in about two months (we didn’t watch any movies during that time at all, and the DVD we had from Netflix just sat on our counter until we finished the last episode of Lost – that’s how much we liked it!) After we finished Lost, we started watching Heros, and really enjoy that too, although not quite as much as Lost. It’s much better being able to watch them without having to wait a week between episodes or remember back to what was happening three years ago on the show. Also, I love that there are no commercials on Netflix, so an hour long program only takes 42 minutes.

Can I make a suggestion. Since you have netflix for your entertainment
“Battlestar Glactica” I know it sounds silly, but really probably on of the best TV show’s I have ever seen. I do watch alot of tv. If you do watch it, you won’t be disappointed. The acting and story line is so new and orginal…. supurb!!!!! P.S. you can watch the whole thing without having to wait months for the cliff hanger that happen at the end of every season….

We also have a 15-year mortgage that we’d like to pay off early, but we’re not quite as hard-core dedicated as you! Still, at the very longest it will be paid off in 10.5 years, and I’m not even 30 yet
