most shows we watch are barely being made anymore. south park, family guy, ect usually come out with a special every few months around holidays. they don't have regular episodes. we can only rewatch stuff so many times before it seems pointless to keep paying for it. we only renew ours when it's on sale or bundled with the one our kids watch. if you're watching reruns over and over and paying for the streaming service it ends up being cheaper to buy DVDs of the shows.
