I just don't think I can deal with an app that steams a set list of shows (like old school TV) the likes of which I need to be home for to view. I deleted it.

@David Sanchez - The Crunchy Roll app is a little more in line of what I'm looking for, but they did a poor job of showcasing what they had and what made it special enough for free members to consider subscribing. The only way to really enjoy it is with a subscription which seems steep to me, considering the much more mammoth bang for my buck I get with Netflix.
