I actually have the series on DVD before it was available on Netflix Streaming. I love The Blackadder. Chains, Beer, and Dish and Dishonesty are my favorite episodes. Pre House Hugh Laurie is strange though. Check out A Bit of Fry and Laurie and if you dig on cars at all,...I love Top Gear. I've actually started on my 3rd go at watching the Series that are available via streaming and it is still greatly entertaining. There is also tons of Monty Python's Flying Circus as well as Fawlty Towers.

Luther is actually pretty good too. Mind fuck on some episodes.

My wife liked Legend of the Seeker, Merlin and Robin Hood (I thought they were dumb).

Dexter was good but I haven't seen any of Season 5. (I am still WTF on Rita even though she was kind of annoying.)

Weeds,...Meh.

Season 5 was pretty good, hard to follow up John Lithgow villain wise, but still cool. Agreed on Rita, but halfway through season 5 you pretty much forget about her.

My only fear with Dexter is that it will end similarly to The Shield, i.e. stinking for most of the last 2 seasons because of the moral need to fix/punish the immoral main character(s).

That depends. How do you feel about Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl?

Also, who's keeping Netflix come September?

The price hike is for streaming and snail mail DVD right? Isn't it going to be a few bucks cheaper for one or the other? If that's the case I'm content to choose streaming and pay a few dollars less. We still have a DVD queue but there is nothing on there I have to have,....and once I get an external HD,.....I'll just pirate what I can't find on streaming.

Other Suggestions

Full Metal Alchemist.
3rd Rock from the Sun
The Office (UK I think the American one might be available as well)
Anthony Bourdain No Reservations
A bunch of Eddie Izzard and George Carlin
Archer
Being John Malkovich
Ren and Stimpy
Masterpiece Mystery!: Sherlock: Series 1
That Mitchell and Webb Look

Was $10 for both before. Is now $8 each, or $16 for both.

It's only $6 increase if you get the plan for both. I don't know why everyone is making such a huge deal about it. $6 a month is like waiting until I get into work to get coffee instead of getting it on the way 3 times.

It's more the principle of a 100% increase over the past year.

I mostly use netflix to save me having to think of something to watch, because you can find pretty much anything streaming elsewhere on the internets.

I'm Trying to Break Your Heart is amazing. I loved it, but I am a huge Wilco fan already.

Just finished the first season of Friday Night Lights, I really liked it
