I use it to watch things I can't find anywhere else. Mostly documentaries and nature shows. I'm one of those people that can't ever think of something to watch, so I like it that Netflix gives me suggestions on things I've never heard of.

I'm not finding Chuck on Netflix right now.

I'm finally ready to get on this bandwagon, $9 a month? yeah **** $100 a month for dvr cable and internet, especially with summer here when i spend a lot more time out of the house.

Its quite an amazing deal actually, i mean they have a seemingly unlimited amount of movies, tv shows and documentaries, which is the most impressive selection to me, i looove good documentaries and they have a ton... so yeah, within the week i'm switching to it and just doing the free digital box for local news etc.

So much of the $100 i've been spending is just a waste, there isnt JACK on tv half the time, even sundays, which used to be good tv days, now totally suck, its been months since i've enjoyed sunday tv... Netflix, internet and free tv should cover all of my needs, i'll save $90 a month.

We haven't had a real cable package for almost 3 years now

I've got a slingbox that is hooked up at my parents in the basement so I have access to live content if I need it.

Tell me more about slingbox when you have a sec, is it basically like free cable that you can transfer to your own place?

I'm a almost a total tech dummy, help a brother out...

I can't find Chuck either, and no where on the internet that says it has Netflix release date. Color me bummed out.

It is placeshifting
You hook up a slingbox to a cable box/dish box and an internet connection and then you can control and watch the box from anywhere.

Apps for iOS/Android etc.

So my parents won't get rid of their cable, and are nice enough to let me put mine in their basement.

I have an extra older model I picked up that I would get rid of

I'll get my kids right on that :D

This has me really ticked off. I was really looking forward to watching it again.

you mean for streaming??

Have we figured out why Chuck is missing yet?

Valhalla Rising. If you love tons of violence and Vikings, this is the the movie for you. It's also directed by the guy that directed Drive (my favorite film of 2011)

Looking for a new tv show to start watching with the girlfriend.

We both like the League, or comedies with that style of humor.

Any recommendations?

Have you watched It's always sunny and Workaholics?

I've not. But I've heard good things about them.

Parks and Recreation too.

Yeah Workachcolics iis hilarious.

Are you open to dramas too?

Cause there is a new show on Netflix called House of Cards. Its a political drama starring Kevin Spacey. Really good. The first season is currently streaming .

I like Kevin Spacey.

But, not a fan of shows/movies about politics.

meh on parks and recreation. It's Always Sunny is one of my all time favorite shows and they are all on Netflix. Workaholics is pretty good too.

That's too bad, because it's ****ing awesome. Give it a shot. It's not actual politics like the Newsroom is. Or West Wing.

I watched Hunger Games on Netflix last night, saw it in the theaters but hadn't gotten a chance to see it since. Good flick.

I think that I'm gonna start watching Cheers. 275 episodes...holy shit.

Wow! Thanks for the heads up.

Cheers is awesome. Iwatch it every now and again. 11 seasons and some seasons have like 30 episodes. its alot.

Arrested Development
Reno 911
Archer

Cheers is an unbelievably good show, especially when Woody Harrelson joins the show and before Kirstie Alley arrives.

It's still a very, very good show before and after but IMO, that was the "Sweet Spot".

Wish there were more seasons of Venture Bros and Metalocalypse would love to marathon those but Netflix is always awesome. Always surprised about the amount of people that bitch about it.

Been going through West Wing again in my spare time.

lol Metalocalypse is a criminally underrated show. Cracks me up.

Not a fan of Venture Bros though, I blind bought it because my friends all said it was awesome but I just could never get into it. Oh well.

It is a really subtle and slow rolling humor. I am not even typing that condescendingly it took me forever to appreciate it and I can't even believe I came around.

It is the year after year tv show version of watching a "blah" movie...then getting it 3\4th of the way in then having to go back again to enjoy the whole thing.

Hemlock Grove drops tomorrow

I saw Dethklok in concert recently and it was a great show. Every song had its own cartoon accompaniment and it was very R-rated for the most part. The musicians that make up the band are great, especially the drummer.

no sign of Chuck yet

I have to say I'm disappointed in their limited selection and arbitrary library. The new shows from cartoon network only have about half the actual episodes.
Why is it they have the original True Grit but not Rooster Cogburn? Trying to find a good movie on there takes a lucky search.

I've been with netflix since early on and while I wont say they have a great library. They have improved their library a thousand times over. I wouldn't hesitate to say they have the best subscription based streaming service.

If you are looking for new TV shows, you wont find them until they are at least a season old and their DVD has been out a few months. This isn't a netflix issue, this is the content producers wanting the DVD sales.

This is why they are getting into the "original programming" game.

I've watched about 7 or 8 eps and I'm still undecided.

Going the Lost route of throwing out a lot of questions and not giving out any answers...

I remember waiting for the wonder years but it took them 3 months longer than I had read about - and when they did have it it had a shitty theme song.

I wonder if Netflix is fixing the Theme song (cake) due to contracts or something.

Also see: Married with Children

I dont think thats a Netflix problem. Its a rights issue getting the songs that aired originally with these shows. It would be the same if you bought the box sets. Its a problem with a ton of old shows. Especially ones that featured alot of music like WKRP in Cinncinati.

after 3 episodes I gave it the finger...





....the opposite of thumbs up

It's like the writers of Twilight and Fringe got together to do a show and had the guy from American Horror Story direct it.

Then some suit said "Moar sex! Needs moar sex scenes!"

it doesnt have that many sex scenes half the time you dont see anything. I thought it was decent as i finished all episodes lastnight.

its alot better then most shit in this genre thats on tv. at least to me.

No spoilers but do they ever reveal what any of the main characters (Evil son, Evil mom, disfigured sister) really are?

i put it in the spoiler tag, but its not a spoiler lol

Watching Top of the Lake, a Jane Campion show from New Zealand. Crime drama, with Elizabeth Moss from Mad Men. 2 episodes in out of 7, and I like it so far. Moss' accent is kind of messy, but it isn't that big of a deal. The characters are cool, and the scenery is beautiful.

I guess it played on Sundance channel, but I hadn't heard of it until netflix suggested it.

:cuss:

I have not made it more than 15 minutes into the first episode before passing out from boredom. I have tried watching it at least 10 times now.

You watched 15 mins of a show for over 2 hours?

Most, but not all, of the music rights secured.

Yea, I saw that. I might have to order that. Haven't seen this show in decades. It's pretty much disappeared from syndication.
