We've actually discontinued paying almost $100 a month for entertainment. We're not getting our money's worth. So we shut down our satellite and pay $18 a month for Netflix and Hulu Plus. It's cheaper, Netflix has no commercials and Hulu has limited commercials (2 per break, instead of 8 or 10, and there are fewer breaks). Netflix is producing its own shows and they're very, very good. "House of Cards" with Kevin Spacey was nominated for 9 Emmys and won 3. I also watch a lot of shows and movies on the internet.

Duck Dynasty's ratings are beating the pants off that idiotic Kardashian show. Network TV better wake up fast.
