The TV Addict 

Oh, sorry. I thought Canada could get Netflix too.

[...] As a big Aaron Sorkin fan, I am excited about his upcoming “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip” series. So excited that I am almost considering [gasp] watching broadcast television. Something I have not done for many months, and have not done regularly for over three years. My brother, also a big Sorkin fan, tipped me off to the pilot’s presence on Netflix. Current presence, that is. Not saved presence. And the show hasn’t even premiered yet. What gives? Poked around and found that NBC inked some sort of deal with Netflix whereby the pilot for “Studio 60″ (as well as its upcoming “Kidnapped” series, about which I am less excited) would be made available to Netflix subscribers before its air date (by about six weeks) in order to drum up interest. I never felt more happy to be a Netflix subscriber. This way I can figure out whether I want to bother braving the commercials and looking at a clock (and hooking up an antenna, no doubt) come September. Should get it tomorrow or Wednesday. I’ll let you know whether it is any good then. [...]
