Netflix Streaming

For the past month or so I have been watching TV shows during my lunch break via Netflix streaming. I've also enjoyed watching the streaming shows at home through our Wii. The show watching first began with The Office.

Loved it. Love it. Next came 30 Rock. Loved it. Love it. I'll be super happy and super unavailable once the newest seasons are viewable. I did attempt to pace myself with these shows but they're only about 20 minutes long and just so funny that I would watch like 4 episodes in a row. I think between The Office and 30 Rock I watched all three seasons of Arrested Development. Hilarious. Can't believe it was cancelled. Then came Downton Abbey, a Masterpiece Theatre period drama.Downton Abbey is wonderfully acted and the new season should be coming soon. Glee (seasons 1 & 2) have all been viewed at work. They're about 40 minutes long and kind of entertaining but mostly embarrassing to watch. I did enjoy the music but I've made it through all the streaming episodes.

Next came Ghost Whisperer with Jennifer Boob Hewitt. I enjoyed the first couple of episodes but after a total of 6 I now realize that her Boobs are an actual character in the show. I could have sworn it was supposed to be family programing but most of her clothes were only a thread away from nipple exposure. Speaking of family programming; I attempted to watch The Tudors at work. BAD idea. Full frontal nudity within 4 minutes of episode 1. I couldn't logout fast enough. I love learning all I can about Henry VIII and his six ill-fated wives but the show is mostly just visual (a.k.a. raunchy) and not much aid for my thirst for knowledge. So, any miniseries' on a major movie network (HBO, Showtime, etc.) are not on my queue either. I've just started Parks and Recreation and I have high hopes. If only Modern Family were streaming! I bought the first season but have not seen any of the 2nd.I know this is the month that Netflix will be increasing the price of their services but I'm staying on as a customer. They've just made this form of entertainment so accessible.

Loved Downton Abbey. I'm currently watching Arrested Development which accounts for the best lunchtimes of my life. The chicken dances are my most favorite thing ever. I also flew right through The Office and 30 Rock...can't wait for that new season. Great minds think alike.
