I wish Boxee got The CW; it gets some CW stuff through its CBS linkup, but SPN does not appear to be among them. HBO did give me pause, but all the shows end up on DVD anyway, so it's just a matter of not seeing them at the same time as everyone else. I realized today, though, that I'm going to have to wait to see Breaking Bad, and THAT is a damn shame. As for Jack and Lost!? WOOOOOOOT! @Erika – I’ve heard that about the CW online player.

I am thisclose to following you, but I despise the CW online player, and I'm not sure I could do without HBO. Hulu's 'subscribe' button has become my new best TV friend, as it queue's all my shows for me, and I don't have to worry about missing them anymore. Netflix is next. Maybe cutting the cable will be soon after. :) If you do try out TV Shack or Surf the Channel, tread lightly, I stopped going because of some pop-up issues and virus warnings from some of the links. My computer is already cranky enough, it doesn't have the patience for such shenanigans (of course, I am PC, so you Apple types probably don't have those concerns). I will add to the 'thumbs up' on Veronica Mars, and OMG!!! it's almost time for more Jack! And more Lost!! WooHoo!! Thisclose!

I will check those out. I think I'm gonna document my journey, though, so I'm going to pretend I'm a regular person unfamiliar with the word "torrent." (Full disclosure: I've been tempted, but have never ripped a torrent. And my likely misuse of the terminology should back me up. And if I got the terminology right, it was by accident.) Rickey!!!!

If you're feeling bold, Rickey recommends familiarizing yourself with sites like TV Shack and Surf the Channel.

HBO was the second thing that gave me pause, but it wasn't as important as 24. :-) Happy to have you along for the ride! @Tim - Yeah, the winter break is kind of long this year. Some shows aren't coming back until March or April because of the Olympics. It's a weird year. Everyone has said that about Veronica Mars, so I figured I'd give it a shot. We'll probably stream Californication. True Blood = worth it! :) Esp. for $18. @Christine – I know what you mean about Entourage and Big Love.

I watch a lot of great shows but they are all on winter break so I'm bored. Amy you are going to love Veronica Mars its a terrific show and was a shame that it only got three seasons. I want to watch Californication and I just picked up True blood season one yesterday for 18 bucks when usually it goes for fifty. Lol i need to get netflix.

We just downgraded our cable aaaalll the way down (just basic) and signed up for Netflix. We got a PS3 for Christmas, so we can do instant streaming there. I'm very interested to see how you handle it. I know I'll be a season behind with Entourage and Big Love, but I'll have to deal with it. I haven't completely canceled cable, but I'm barreling along in that direction. Wheee! I’m going to follow along with you.
