John Rogers is serious about his alternate media distribution channels.
And I love him for it! Seriously, it makes my Netflix subscription worth it single-handedly.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
John Rogers and his alternate media distribution ideals make me very happy. Make it easier for me to watch legally and I get happier. Happier me owns the dvds as well. Because it's not a show I had to fight to watch.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just hopped over to bn.com and ordered my S1. It's about damned time. Thing came out when I was broke, but I've been remiss since then. S2 comes out next month, if memory serves.

I agree. I'm really thrilled that it is available on netflix. I try to watch it via that so his choice could be validated. I figure one watch on TNT and one watch on Netflix for each episode should get him his income!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm ditching my Dish satellite tv, and I'm going without cable to save some money. Seems all my tv watching needs can be handled with a Roku and a really good antenna. Since I'm not a Nielsen family, does it do Leverage any good for me to get cable to watch it? Or would I be supporting it as much as I could do anyway by watching it on Netflix and buying the DVDs? I always feel like my watching Live matters, but maybe it doesn't.

I think you can get counted if you watch via DVR, but other than that, no. Netflix and DVDs are better ways to be counted.

The episodes come up on Netflix within about two days of airing. John Rogers is serious about his alternate media distribution channels.
Well, the man just made a fan of me that is for certain.
I wouldn't have needed the dvds but the drunken commentary sounds fun. I think it may have been one of you guys that went to a con. Are they the only non sci fi show that also does cons? Not that I'm going to any, I just admire them for doing it.

I went to the con. It was the first Leverage Con, but I'm sure not the only. According to them, they are the only non-genre show that ever had a con specifically devoted to their show. They expected about 150 people. They got, last I heard, around 500, including the day-trippers. They were all gobsmacked. Dean Devlin was glowing from within. Though he may do that all the time. He might be an enlightened soul, I don't know. He has a Buddha-like expression of calm about him. Apparently he has a magical knack for getting people to just *give* them things. Like the tanker in the last episode. "You want us to film here." "Yes, we want you to film here!" "You want to let us film for free." "We want to let you film for free!"

So, no, then?
