Cable TV, One Day I'm gonna quit you

Now that I have my Samsung Smart TV, it has become oh so easy to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime, and HBO Go.  I find myself watching those in the free time that I have as it makes it easy for me to do my favorite TV past time... binge watching!  Binge Watching is the perfect way to watch TV, you watch a show in your own time with no cliffhangers and no commercials.  If you're bored with a storyline, you just skip a couple episodes until the show gets good again... no more suffering with a stupid plot.

This means that I rarely if ever watch live television now.  I get my news online and really only watch one time events on TV like a football game or news coverage of a specific event.  Herein lies my problem... I pay for television services that I don't use.  I am trying so hard to break away from cable TV but am having a hard time doing so.  Why can't they have an ala carte cable pricing plan?  Give me a couple of the news channels, and the option to watch HBO and ShowTime alone and I would be so gone.  I don't even need the network shows.  I'd pay the $20 - $30 to get them on iTunes anyway just so that I can see them without the commercials.

Cable TV has become that relationship that I'm in that I desperately want to end but can't...
