But money is always in critical supply here at Rancho Yesteryear, and as such, investing in a monthly Netflix subscription or any other service wouldn’t be the best bucks I’ve ever spent (I refer you back to the second paragraph under “dusty TDOY archives”). (For example: somebody put up some episodes of one my DVD Holy Grails, the short-lived 1981-82 sitcom Open All Night.

Let me just state at the start of this post…that when it comes to home entertainment, I’m a physical media disciple.
