The problem I have with Netflix is that nearly every show I want to watch doesn't have all the seasons. I like to watch serial programs, so I get about half or two-thirds through the program and find that the last one or two seasons is missing, so I'm stuck with pirating the last episodes if I want to see the rest of the show.

You might be addressing the wrong problem. Try enabling bitmap caching.

That's right, you give him four years of free room and board, three square meals a day, free access to health and dental and psychiatric care. That'll show him who's boss.

Did they share that information as well?
