Netflix fills in the gaps based on what the new TV schedule is like. When the DVR is in full workout, I just watch movies/docus. When TV is quite I mix in Instant TV shows and anime with the movies.
I used to watch quite a bit of TV as a kid. Definitely Nickelodeon stuff (I really liked Snick, I remember watching it alone in my parents bedroom because they were usually watching something saturday nights), the Mario/Zelda stuff when I could catch it, Sonic the Hedgehog was always syndicated in the mornings when I was in grade school. Oh, and Power Rangers was huge for me in the 1st grade. Around the 5th grade, Pokemon—my first website, a tripod site, was all about it. Ah, '98.
In high school the only real TV I watched was Late Night with Conan O'Brien. I saw it pretty much every night, and that was pretty awesome. It's really the only thing I miss about not having a TV next to my desk (or not having cable most of the last five years). At this time, though, I was buying a lot of DVDs and I got into some TV shows like Twin Peaks, Upright Citizens Brigade, Deep Space 9, Arrested Development, Evangelion... I had 56k until like 2004 so it was DVDs for me for several years. I spent a lot of money on 'em and I haven't bought one in years.
I almost exclusively rely on web based content, Netflix, and torrents nowadays. There are some shows I do make an effort to watch immediately, even if it's just downloading the torrent a few hours after it airs (Doctor Who, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones). Most others have already finished their runs. But what the hay, some highlights of the past few years:
Six Feet Under, Deadwood*, The Wire*, Weeds*, Parks & Recreation, Survivorman, Firefly, Buffy the Vampire Slayer*, Walking Dead*, Trailer Park Boys, Community, Quantum Leap, Doctor Who (1963 onward), Life on Mars... I could probably keep going.
*denotes that these are still ongoing for me
