i gotta admit.....I kinda like it. Predictable, cheesy, standard coming of age high school show...blah blah....but, entertaining enough to keep watching. Plus I like dark, even light hearted dark, and the Addams family has also been a family favorite.

we couldn’t get past the awful casting for gomez and morticia…morticia alone was ok, but as much as i like Luis Guzman i just couldn’t believe the chemistry b/t he and Zeta Jones

yea...I get that.

Didn't bother me too much tho, they were only really in 1 episode.

it’s easy to forget that there are lots of folks out there that can’t afford streaming, or home internet for that matter

i’m sure there’s also rural folks that don’t have the capacity to stream

And that if you want to see a specific movie, you have to have the specific streaming service that is contracted to carry it. I am sure there are movies out there that I simply never get a chance to see because of what I do or do not have subscriptions to.

yknow its crazy. I dont pay attention much to internet speeds etc. If it works it works, if it doesn't, then oh well.

But, CnBs comment of only having 100mbs download speed and then his follow up of the standard around there is 300-500 is just crazy to me. What are people doing that necessitates that sort of speed?

It got me curious so I've checked mine several times over the past few days. I'm running a solid 11-14 myself. I got up 17.3 once.

I stream, its my only TV show option. We have phones iPad etc connected. Ive never had an issue or noticed a problem. I know I'm not a big tech guy and I dont do a lot of internet stuff.

But if I can get by, seemingly fine, with 13mbs ..how on earth are people using 300+??

The gotchya is when you don't bring it back the next day.

I've done this in the past when visiting my rents over the holidays as the Dillons is a two minute drive away. Rent two movies knowing that i'll be going back.

Your download speed is only 11-14 Mbps? Google "internet speed test" and use that one and tell me what it gives you for a download speed. Mine runs between 475-525 Mbps so maybe just check a different tool.
