It looks like Netflix has added around 288 movies to the Watch Instantly service in the last couple of weeks, putting the total number of titles at a little over 4400 movies. I’ve listed 12 that stand out, and all 288 additions and 63 deletions are listed below.

It seems like Netflix is continuing on their quest to add TV shows that I haven’t thought about since I was a kid. Yet another season of Adam 12, The Incredible Hulk, and Quantum Leap were added, which I might be able to understand because they’re mildly entertaining. I might even be able to understand that adding a couple of seasons of Leave it to Beaver might be justifiable in a hokey sort of way.

Where they lost my support is when they added two more seasons of Gimme A Break, six seasons of Simon & Simon, and five seasons of Kojak. I don’t care how many times I’ll listen to Telly Savalas singing “Who Loves You Baby, I’m not sitting through him or Nell Carter in 60 minute doses. Are there really people out there who are demanding these shows enough to justify wasting the disc space on them? Seriously?

Not to worry, though. They completely redeemed themselves with their decision to add that craptastic vintage television show, Lancelot Link: Secret Chimp. How can you argue with the comedic value of a spy show acted out by an all-monkey cast? I can’t watch the show for five minutes without laughing. Try it. If you don’t laugh, you may need to call a doctor. I’m serious.

As always, if I missed one of your favorites, be sure to drop it in the comments…
