Speaking of The Office, Josh Groban is on this week's episode. I'm excited about that, even though I won't be watching it since I don't have TV.

Hulu has every episode of a show's current season the day after it airs. I suggest checking out season 8 on that. Be warned that The Lotto and to a much lesser extent The Incentive are terrible episodes though (at least in comparison to the glorious season). Still yeah, excited for Josh Groban as Andy's brother, since he's basically Andy but better in every way.

So yeah tonight's episode was really good after all. Maybe they should have guest stars every episode--oh wait, that would just be an American version of Extras.

Why is it that over 75% of the movies available for streaming on netflix are things I've never heard of?
I consider myself quite a movie buff and there shouldn't be that many movies I don't know about.
Everytime I search for something to watch it's mostly bottom of the barrel low budget garbage.
Who the hell's in charge of the instant streaming department?

The guy in charge of the selection needs to be fired. I realize It's only costing 9 bucks a month for instant streaming but damn. Couldn't they at least put a few things on there that are somewhat well known?
I feel like I'm digging through a box of DVD's at a flea market.

Really? I've never had a problem with the instant streaming selection. Unless you're looking for big-budget movies like Transformers 3 or something. I guess it's a matter of taste, but there are a lot of independent and niche titles that I like a lot on instant streaming, and plenty of great foreign movies I never get to see anywhere else.

The TV selection is pretty stellar. I don't think the movie selection is too bad either. I get my money's worth with the TV shows though.

Yeah the TV shows tend to be alot better.
If you try looking for any movies that actually made some money at the theater you won't likely find them on Netflix.

If you like The Office watch Parks and Recreation. Season 1 is just decent but season 2 and 3 are awesome.

Lol as I said the guy in charge of the streaming department is Reed Hasteings the Founder and CEO of Netflix good luck firing him.

I agree with grenworthshero I have found plenty of good movies to stream like the first two Lethal Weapons and Maverick. Not to mention a bunch of Star Trek including the 2009 movie, and a bunch of the tv series. Also I have seen stuff like The Mask and Toy Story 3, Blues Brothers, and Superman just to name a few more.

I dont know what you are expecting Link79 but there are a bunch of good movies there and even a whole lot that I havent mentioned. As grenworthshero you arent going to find the big blockbusters like Transformers 3 or Harry Potter and if thats what you are expecting maybe you should switch and get discs instead of streaming.

I'm currently insanely addicted to Lost. The entire series is on instant streaming, so if you, like me, managed to miss out on this the first time, prepare yourself for some of the best storytelling and acting in the history of television.

Lost is my favorite show ever. Down right amazing.

I'm about 7 episodes or so from the end. Even if the end disappoints, it'll still easily be the greatest television show I've ever seen. Season 5 absolutely blew me away, and even though I'm not quite as enthralled by the more-philosphical Season 6, it's still brilliant. Just finished Richard Alpert's backstory and it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen on TV. SUCH a good show!

@ Tasuki
I know i shouldn't expect the really big blockbusters on Netflix but a few halfway decent movies would be nice.
Most of the popular movies you mentioned I already have on DVD. I did find Mrs. Doubtfire on netflix so that's a good one.
I also watched the new Star Trek movie which I absolutely loved and I'm not even a big Trekkie. It was great even for non fans!
I noticed Tron Legacy was recently added so I might check that out.

They just added the TV show 24 to Instant. If you want something action-packed and insanely addicting, 24 is for you. First 5 seasons are brilliant. The rest? Eh.

Vampire Diaries is actually a pretty good show. I was not expecting to like it so much.

My friend wanted to watch Gremlins with me last night...but no, not available. New movies that just came out I can understand, but older movies like the example I just mentioned, yeah...it's kinda ridiculous. >.>
