Today I did a hard thing: I returned our DVRs to AT&T. Yes, we have officially gotten rid of cable. (Or more specifically, AT&T U-Verse Television). I've bemoaned the service we've had for awhile, but we were under a contract with them. The day the contract was up I called to cancel and purchased some old school rabbit ears.

And that's one of the problems with U-Verse. They lock you in for yearly increments with really great bundle prices, but once that year is up the price for the exact same service doubles. Of course, if that was our only issue with them I would've accepted when they offered to extend our discount for a year.

No, as I explained to the very nice man on the phone, even with a discount it feels silly to be paying so much for something that drives me crazy so often. While the actual service, the channels and all that, worked fine most of the time, the customer service (or lack thereof) was the real issue.

But I've talked about all that before. (If you really want to know, you can find that post here.) Today I want to share some TV related links!

In case you missed it, there was a Gilmore Girls reunion! I read several articles about it, but this Mashable post was the best. Mostly because the bonus highlight made me cry. (They left a chair on the stage at the reunion in honor of Edward Herrman.)

And then there's this post about which Friends character you are based on your Myers-Briggs type. I was not happy with my result - apparently I'm a Ross!

I could link to a lot of articles about the season finale of Outlander. I have so many thoughts on it, but I've particularly liked hearing what the folks over at Story Wonk had to say about it. I've been binge listening to the Scot and the Sassenach podcast, and their insight has been great.

As a matter of fact, even if our AT&T contract had ended earlier in the month, I still would've waited to cancel until after that finale. There's just something about that story that sticks with me!

But it's over now, and we are without cable or a DVR. Is it going to suck a little bit? Yes, I'm sure it will. But I lived for several years without cable and survived, and James has as well. Plus we have Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime so it isn't like we don't have options to watch television.

Do you have cable? If you don't, what do you do instead?
