Couldn't agree more. Back from London last night and all I wanted to watch was 3 episodes of a 12 parter I started the week before. Had seen everything else that I wanted to watch (which is unusual). Definitely spending less on TV series (although there's more variety from around the world, perhaps that's cheaper) and fewer and fewer new movies that I've heard of (and I like movies so it's not because I'm a hermit!). An Ipad 2 and downloadable Netflix is the answer I've discovered.
