I miss the days when Netflix was only for renting movies that they would mail to your home and you'd receive a disc that was scratched to a point where you could barely play it fully-through... wait a minute, I don't miss that at all.

I'll admit, it's a little weird seeing Nickelodeon Studios being featured like this around this time, considering they were barely utilizing the studio by that point (outside of Slime Time Live).
