I'm the same, no cable subscription, but I have both Netflix and Amazon Prime. However, I do miss slumping down after work and seeing some real-time, curated content like Adult Swim or Stewart / Colbert. It would also be nice to catch some morning news while I'm getting ready, or the occasional baseball game. All those things require real TV, not Netflix, and although I'm happy living without them, people like those kinds of content experiences and they are admittedly nice sometimes when vegging out is the purpose, and you don't want to even make a choice about what you watch.

You can get Stewart and Colbert on Hulu for free if you don't mind the ads, and TPB if don't care about IP rights. I'd pay for Adult Swim though, and I'm 32 (I grew up on Adult Swim late nights; still remember their hilarious bumps).
