well, it becomes less insane if you only pay that $$ for July, August, September and October.

Heh - no, $300/season is still pretty much insane. The easiest (legal) solution for me is just to to watch it at the neighbors' apt, or ask them to burn a DVD from their Tivo.

Mad Men is playing havoc with my desire to drop cable. Paying $75/month for one show is clearly insane, but there doesn't seem to be ANY legal way to watch it online.
It's not on iTunes?

I think it's only available on iTunes after the DVD for that season comes out (like HBO shows) - not really good for keeping up with online discussions.

I don't think so-- I seem to recall at the beginning of the season they had the Season Pass option up on iTunes for Mad Men. They had a big countdown to the beginning of the season as well with free downloads as well.
ETA: Yeah, all of S4 is up right now.

Oh! Well that solves that, then. Buh-bye Cablevision!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
(derail) What are you doing for Internet, Jess?

Oh, we'll still need them for that. At least until this neighborhood gets Fios. But we're giving up the phone & cable after the baby's born. You know, so we can afford to feed her. t /off-topic

Thanks, Jess, for reminding me that it is really insane to pay $900/year just to watch television. I think it would make way more sense to upgrade my Internet service when I upgrade my cell.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm trying to do the math and figure out how to ditch cable as well. Of course I am trying to figure it out in the off-season for racing... I'm not totally mad.
