Not as of just now. Does this apply to DVD subscribers only? I've got the streaming-only version.

I just reorganized my Instant Queue last night and was amazed a how many documentaries I have waiting. Almost as many as TV shows and movies combined!

I've also signed up for Hulu+ and am contemplating Amazon Prime to add Amazon Instant to the available offerings. That would add up to about $23/month with no commercials or annoying talking heads! I think I like it!

Speaking of cable TV shows, we could not wait for the next episode of "West Wing" or "Boston Legal" from NetFlix. We refuse to be abused by endless TV commercials. We've heard that "Mad Men" is equally good sans commercial interuption. We'll see?

I've only seen bits of "West Wing" and only a handful of "Boston Legal" episodes since we basically bailed on TV a few years ago. I'd like to get back into watching "Boston Legal", but I didn't know it was on Netflix - I'll queue it up post haste!

"Mad Men" certainly has it's soap opera-y elements, but I like it for the historical references and attention to detail (one episode with scenes in the local Roman Catholic church had the correct color paraments for the time in which the events depicted were happening). Plus, the writing is just plain enjoyable.

I've had the streaming-only version of Netflix for the last 3 months or so. We've been happy with it, and have used it to catch up on more cable TV shows than movies (although I did have a shlocky horror weekend a while back - Toxic Avenger I - IV, Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Waxwork, Class of Nuke 'Em High I - III), and the kids love it for the goofy Disney kids shows and "Phineas and Ferb" (which is actually quite good).

They recently added Mad Men, which we'd never seen, but are hooked on now. Breaking Bad looked interesting, so I'll have to check it out, too, after all the recommendations.

Since I've never experienced the DVD version of Netflix, and have paid only $8/mo, I've been very happy. Just have to finish all the Starz-related stuff before February when it drops off the service.
