I wonder if the number of customers retained will compensate for the number shed.

We're keeping our current plan. Our rate is only going up $2 per month. It seems the people getting the shaft were the ones on the cheapest plan(s).

I think Netflix is overvaluing their streaming catalog, personally. It seems to me to have gotten worse as time has gone on.

I wonder if this will help their streaming selections. The Fighter wasn't available on there a week ago and then it suddenly was last night.

Any suggestions as to really good stand-up comedy shows? The only one I've liked so far is Louis CK...

Bill Hicks has a couple. Of his more popular recordings his early stuff is a bit angry for my tastes. I like his subject-matter, though.

Zach Galifianakis has one or two up as well that I like. He's a bit one-note, but he hits it very well. If I was a stoner I'd be in love with him.

I loved "Baseball" but, then again, I love baseball. Hmm... I still haven't seen his one about the National Parks. I bet that would be a good one.

the national parks one is decent. jazz is ok. baseball is really good. and i think he did the one on jack johnson which is also alright. if youre deep into any of his subject matter youll realize he misses a lot of stuff but for a general overview youre otherwise never gon see all that archival footage.

The one on WW2 was good, too. But, I don't think that's on Instant.
