I caved in...

And spend $1.99 on an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles (season 2, episode 11) that did not air on TV and hence could not be recorded or watched. There was no rent option but there was a buy option, so chose that. Guess that means that I can watch it again anytime I want. This was the only episode missing from my season 2 recordings, so don't need to spend any more money. Now that I've watched this episode I can watch the rest of the episodes of this season. Once I finish with season 2 and move on to season 3 I will have to buy episode 11 since it is not airing on TV; at least not anytime soon. No rent option for this episode either. Thankfully, that is the only missing episode, so it's only another $1.99 to spend. Season 4 is missing episode 4 but that one will re-air April 5th. I can either wait until then to watch it or get it from YouTube. I would prefer to wait, however, if I start to be very close to running out of space on my DVR I will have to buy it so I can watch the rest of season 4 and delete it to make room for other stuff. Perhaps I may decide not to wait until April and just buy it on YouTube as it's only $1.99 after all. I've got all of season 5 and most of the episodes of season 6 on DVR, however, so far the remaining episodes of season 6 and all of season 7 and 8 are not airing on TV. I definitely do not want to buy all that, so not sure what I will do then. I will have all of season 9 once the first four episodes finish recording. All of season 10 is already on DVR. I will be missing most of season 11 as no episodes on TV yet to record. But season 12 is on demand and available until September, which is good. I wish I had decided to start binge watching it much earlier...

I have done that before. When we find a show we really enjoy, it is worth it to me.

$1.99 for an episode is not bad. But if you have to watch many then it adds up.

I have done that with shows I’ve enjoyed, did it with an entire season of Bones...

I loved Bones. I watched it as it aired but I didn't start since the beginning. I'd been wanting to rewatch it starting from the first season.

Glad you finally got it. I have never made a purchase yet but there may come a time. Not sure yet.

As long as you watch it and enjoy it, that's ok.

At least it's a very low price to pay.

True. I wouldn't mind paying 99 cents. At least there was no tax.

I have been binge watching Lost (again for about the fourth time). Fortunately all episodes are available on Hulu. Good luck in getting all the episodes of your program.

Thanks. I don't mind paying for a few episodes on YouTube but I don't really want to spend money on lots of episodes or full seasons.
