We got that system down to a science at our house. NO reality shows. That's not a 'law', just that none of us gives a shit. We wait for movies to hit the 5 dollar bin at Whatever store. We trade with friends and neighbours. The odd download from free and legal sources. We actively support live theatre from Detroit to Toronto and school-house smalltime productions in between. The button that gets the most work is the mute button if and when we watch anything 'live' on TV. 'Live' TV is mostly TLC, History, Discovery, NG and PBS. We like Bones, and Criminal Minds. We buy those.
=============================================== Season 5 of Criminal Minds out yet? I left a 'notify me' on Amazon but haven't seen anything from them yet. I'd like to pick up a used copy of 'Six Feet Under' Cheap somewhere. Have rented season 1 and found it hilarious.
