Currently watching. Aptly titled.
Shows I Am Patiently Waiting For New Seasons To Be Added To Netflix
(In Order Of Desire)
- The Walking Dead (As S2 just ended, this may take a while)
- Power Rangers Samurai (Judge away, I don’t care)
- The League
- How I Met Your Mother
- South Park
- Portlandia
- The Office (I’m a season behind, so no rush)
- Breaking Bad (Haven’t started the series yet, but why not add more?)
Just found out that season 1 of PR:S has been added to Netflix Instant Streaming. This Friday’s off to a pretty rad start.
Currently watching with Puddles. She watched Batman Begins last week, so figured we’d go ahead and get her caught up on the series.
I’m not one for randomly adding stuff to my Netflix queue based on description alone but…
After a virus turns the teachers and pupils of Fujimi High School into zombies, a group of surviving students arm themselves with an arsenal of homemade weapons in a bid to survive the undead menace that soon sweeps across the globe.
Seriously. I can’t wait to get home and watch this. It’s only a 12 episode anime, so it shouldn’t take me long to burn through. Hopefully it’s worth the time investment.
Netflix Fail.
We’ve had Schindler’s List sitting on our TV stand for the past month. (Yeah, we’re one of those people who actually kept the DVD option.) Between Puddles’s folks coming down, football season, and just general socialization, watching this flick has been at the bottom of our to-do list. Normally, this wouldn’t have been that big of a deal to m had this not been the first month of the price increase.
Basically, we paid $8 to let a movie sit around for a month. I can’t tell you how mad I am at myself for letting that happen. Needless to say, Schindler’s List is back in the mailbox, completely unwatched.
Goal this month? 6 movies.
Unsure if I want to watch this or work on the webpage.
Methinks that I’ll do both until I become distracted by one.
I got rid of the DVD service when the price went up. Now they’re splitting the company into two services: Netflix and Quikster. What’s the business logic behind this? How will this get me more awesome stuff to watch via Instant Streaming and not cost me more money? That’s all I really care about.
What the hell is going on over there?
I’m still scratching my head about this decision… If they make me manage two accounts and/or bill me twice, I may be tempted to jump ship.
What little I’ve seen I’ve liked, but I never dedicated myself to the show because I wanted to see it from the beginning. With it coming to Instant Streaming soon, I’ll no longer have that excuse. The next long weekend I get should be phenomenal.
(via Starz ends renewal negotiations with Netflix, will pull movies from streaming in February — Engadget)
So, I read this yesterday and have kinf of been biting my tongue on this. I don’t think Starz is really going to do it. I think they’ll eventually come to some kind of agreement.
When these people realize that people on the internet want to pay for one service to receive their programming, the same way they do with cable/satellite, they’ll figure this out. Netflix has a model in place. I wish they could make it happen; things are just too factious right now.
If Starz goes, I may go. Most of the movies I watch on Instant (when I actually bother to hold still long enough to do so) come from the Starz library. Losing those movies would definitely be a dealbreaker.
