No. I disagree.

We get Netflix through our Wii and through our BluRay player (Gunsmoke! We finally bought one with our Christmas money! )

I LOVE documentaries and my kids and I get into involved dramas like Downton Abbey, Dr. Who and Supernatural and also love weird comedies like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and things like that. And I love Indie movies, so we're happy with Netflix.

Anything really new that we want to see, we get from On Demand from Comcast through our Cable.

I know they never have anything I look up.
Hon, they have Dr. Who, Supernatural, Torchwood, The X Files, Sherlock and so much more. Unless you already have all these on DVD!

I think it depends on what you watch. They seem to be adding a lot of TV shows lately. To me, they normally have movies that didn't do very well in the ratings and the ones that did are there briefly. I'm guessing because it's cheaper that way.

I never really liked them that much honestly but I already have a pretty extensive collection of movies and tv shows so if I can't find anything on cable, I just watch something I already own.

I used to find great foreign and independent movies on netflix. Now it's hard to find a film to watch when I take a look at the site.

Really? I'm always pretty pleased with the selection on Netflix.

I'm not a movie person. So it is great for me.

I looked up the Muppet movies, Without a Clue, and other odds and sods of older movies. Nothing yet. I'm hoping they're just not in rotation at this time and will be in the future.

I will definitely say I get my fix of "TED Talks" from them.

Netflix got a lot of competition over the past few years and lost some contracts. They do a decent job of keeping me occupied with series though. Their movie selection for instant play is poor, but who has a better one?
