Netflix, This Is REALLY Aggravating

So we're watching our latest arrival from Netflix, the quirky Canadian comedy "Corner Gas." Season one, disc 2, episode 11 - "Hook, Line and Sinker".

We get halfway thru that episode, and the show stalls. No problem, we'll try washing it with a little Windex. Doesn't work. Report the problem to Netflix, put it in the mail, a couple of days later, we have a second disc.

Uncle. How many identically faulty discs will Netflix send us?

The first three discs all looked a bit dinged on the business side. The fourth disc looked PERFECT. But it isn't.

Which leads me to ask, is Netflix making copies from a bad master disc? How many people have had this problem with this episode of "Corner Gas"?

It is extremely aggravating.

Oh and despite this, I highly recommend "Corner Gas." A very funny show.
