Yeah - wii finally has a purpose!

No Top Gear on Netflix Canada though.

looks like netflix has added season 9 too

So tomorrow they are adding ALL previous seasons of BBC Top Gear to Netflix instant watch. I know what I'm doing for the next week.

I don’t know how he positioned himself to benefit by their passing and mercifully, most didn’t but what he attempted to do was just pure evil. A lot of folks unwittingly vote yes on bond propositions thinking that if they don’t buy the bonds, they won’t be affected but of course, their tax dollars are used to pay back the bond holders with interest. I apologize for stepping on this tread but everyone needs to know what a despicable person the founder of Netflix is…we’re in melt down mode out here in California with some of the highest unemployment, foreclosure, & tax rates in the nation and this piece of work tried to send us further down a rat hole so he could add to his existing fortune.

RE: Reed Hastings, I can't find anything to back this claim up. It appears he has supported property tax increases in the past to pay for education, but thats all I could find.

Star Trek original series seasons 1-3
Start Trek TNG seasons 1-7
Star Trek Voyager seasons 1-7
Star Trek Enterprise Seasons 1-4

All were added to instant watch today.

Netlix?? Pretty sure THAT will not make it through the filter at work...

Sorry... carry on.

Would just like to point out that this cannot be completely true. If nothing else, thanks to US licensing laws, the music has been changed (sometimes).

I have watched all available episodes on netflix. They need more car programming.

I wonder if the Polar special still lacks sound.

Correction: They need BETTER car programming. There are plenty of old car movies that end up being DVD only(Off the top of my head, Two Lane Blacktop is one), but you better believe that the crap is right there on instant watch. Let's see, I recall some drift thing that looked like it was shot with a broken handycam by someone with Parkinsons, most of it at night with horrible night vision, and a rip off of Death Race starring two dipE36 M3s from ICP.

Yeah, Netflix has an issue with quality control, or at least with putting crap up before the decent stuff.
