This was the first time that I ever missed an IAH-EWR upgrade.

CO's 757-200s have AVOD so you don't have to pay for DirecTV if you miss an upgrade! I found the movie selection to be a little bland and catered to children but I was still able to see a movie for the first time (Green Hornet - not great but entertaining nonetheless).

I was seated in row 21 (exit row) with plenty of legroom. I think CO fixed the buy on board problem because they weren't out of food by the time they reached the exit row. I still refuse to pay for any food on a plane so I didn't buy anything.
