Undercover brother.. Funny as heck when I broke my leg I watched it every single day for 12 weeks. It was therapy.

I'm highjacking your thread now. Whats the best alternative going for cable/sat TV. I've been reading about Chromecast, but I know nothing about streaming. What options are working for ya'll?

 

[RidgeRunner]

? Never heard of it. Subscribed..

 

[phatdaddy]

spare, i have a "smart" tv, so i get netflix directly on the set. i also have chromecast. this allows you to stream from your laptop, pc,ipad to your set. so far, all i can get to cast is youtube & netflix. i think hulu and other tv sites will cast also.

i would also like to get off the cable bill also, but sports, weather, and local news stll make them a neccessity.

My kids watched every episode of The Office, back to back to back.

I don't even have cable! I watch the news and stuff on the puter when i can get online stealing signal from people next door, but they shut there router off when they shut there puter off so i get it when i can.

For netflix binge watching I suggest Breaking Bad and Justified. Walking Dead too if you can stomach it. Far cry from Emergency and Adam 12.

 

[phatdaddy]

we've watched those when they came out, new season of justified started last week.
along those lines, have you watched dexter , the killing, or the following?

The Following I watched when aired....liked it...never heard of the other two but just looked them up on Netflix.....looks like I got me some binge watching to do.
Thanks for the tip!

Damn you Phatdaddy! On Season 3 episode 1 of Dexter....How is it i had never heard of this show?

 

[RidgeRunner]

Showtime exclusive

 

[Road King Cole]

For netflix binge watching I suggest Breaking Bad....

I was also going to recommend BB. Great show that you need to watch in order from the beginning...maybe not if your son is very young.

i've also got into the "Prime Suspect" series with helen mirren(sp?). little hard to understand with british dialect and slang, but good to watch. they are about 1h50m, so gotta have time to watchi it.

kinda funny, you can date a show by the type of cell phone they use.

For those that use NETFLIX. this site is a must have http://instantwatcher.com/titles/visual?infinite=1 . It lists all the new movies in order that NETFLIX adds. I check it once or twice a week for new shows and movies. It is a PITA to search on NETFLIX, but this is a cake walk and lets me keep up with the good movies.
