Netflix bigger than any cable company

If you're wondering why various cable companies have been trying to force Netflix to pay them for bandwidth, wonder no longer. The DVD rental and streaming video service is now larger than any individual cable company in the USA, with 7% of all American households subscribing.

Did I mention I have some free trial codes for anyone who wants them? ;-)

Confirmed: Futurama lives again on Comedy Central!

It was rumored before, but now it is confirmed. Comedy Central has ordered 26 new episodes of Futurama for 2010! This is after an experimental run of 4 straight-to-DVD movies which sold well in their own right, and were then brought to Comedy Central as a special new season. Apparently ratings were stellar. What does this mean for Fry, Bender, and the crew? No idea. But hopefully proof that a quality series can find new life on cable, even after a shortsighted cancellation on network television.

(I'm looking at you, SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES - perfect for Spike TV.)
