I got a deal from Comcast when they were down all afternoon. I had to go to a coffee shop to get work done. I called and gritched, they offered me a piddling amount so I escalated and got a $65 reduction in the monthly bill and a free year of Showtime (only after I threatened to pull the plug on them). I forgot to ask them to cover the coffee.

Yep. You can do this every year or so, and they'll cut you a new deal.

Time Warner Cable stiffed me when I tried this a few months ago (first time I've tried), and I didn't follow through on cancelling, so I'm probably screwed on that scheme now. I should probably cancel for a month to restore my credibility.

Does Showtime still show 80s softcore movies after 10pm on weekends? Because that's really the value of Showtime right there.

Not a big deal now that we have the Internet and loads of free 'movies' that are almost impossible to avoid but I would have killed for Skinemax's On-Demand selection when I was younger.

Skinemax was the gold standard, but when you're 13, Showtime delivered just fine.

I believe the Emmanuelle movies were exclusive to Showtime. So I heard. Also, Red Shoe Diaries.
