    Kind of off topic. But, whats the cheapest cable option without getting internet with it? I have free wifi in my apartment building, but want to get cable. Xfinity, Comcast, Frontier???

    Nope, but I'm not going to pay that much more just for one channel.

    I stream. I'm a pirate. Yarrrrrrrrr!

    I got rid of cable and only have basic channels and Netflix. It's made me a 1,000 times more productive human being

    I have a relative who has changed providers almost as often as Mrs. HCP changes her sheets. He's with Comcast now for the third time in about five years, and he's had both Dish and DirectTV twice in that span...

    True true. Only if you start a tv show series though. I try to stick to shows with one or two seasons tops

    Ya, I've almost started breaking bad and/or dexter......

    My girl and I watched prison break and it was awesome season 1. Ok season's 2 and 3. Season 4 blows. I have like 15 episodes left and I don't care it's that bad.

    I watched lost when it was on. Great show, terrible terrible ending.

    That's why I hate getting invested in multiple season shows.

    Netflix is fucking horrible yet I still subscribe. I let my parents use my account too.

    Cable TV/DirectTV is a fucking ripoff. If it weren't for TNT, ESPN games, and NBA Channel games I'd get rid of it in a second.

    You're a gamer, watch Netflix, and have 39,000 posts on this board. When do you live in reality?

    I'm a student, so obviously I don't live in reality at all. Just the reality that the professor creates.

    Shut up. I am trying to avoid that show. All I want to know is when the finale is and is it good. I don't even know what it is about but hopefully it will be done in a few years just in time to save me from eating a bullet. I mean I can only take so much Bridezillas and edited movies on TNT that I own on bluray.

    I love my girlfriend but damn. I can't remember the last movie she wanted to start in the middle on TNT but it is usually like Happy Gilmore or something. GET IN YOUR HOME BALL, ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR YOUR freezing HOME?

    By the way, is The Wire over yet? Heard that show is great too.
