A few days ago I got rid of cable TV, I did this because it's nothing but junk shows such as reality TV (people are like zombies with reality TV), murder crime solving, etc.. It got old. I believe it's almost $200 for the cable package, and that's just ridiculous. I also find all the shows I watch getting canceled such as Last Resort for example. So, why would anyone want to pay $200 when they can stream the same shows for about $7 a month on Hulu Plus and less ads?
Don't forget about Crackle, where you can also stream movies and shows for free and it's completely legal too. Then there is Netflix streaming for about $8 per month. But because of their 1 month wait time after a release I don't bother with it. Don't forget about Amazon prime, where you can also stream for free. It's about $76 for a year, OR $36 if you go to college (just register with a .edu email, you also get 6 months free).
Anyway, my point is that cable TV is just not worth it anymore. It's being filled with crap like reality TV, and while the stuff shows stay the good shows go. Plus it costs so much.
