Hopefully they don't limit you on a 30-day trial.

Nice find on the EC Spectacle. We Jam Econo is great, btw if you haven't seen it.

Friday Night Lights is so, so, so much better than I would've anticipated. Finished S1 last night and can't wait for the second in spite of the insane murder plot or whatever.

Mayor Cory Booker, Police Director Garry McCarthy and Central High School Principal Ras Baraka join the citizens of Newark to fight an uphill battle against crime, poverty and corruption in the New Jersey metropolis. The Sundance Channel’s Emmy-nominated, five-part documentary — a sort of nonfiction companion to HBO’s crime drama “The Wire” — offers incredible access into numerous strata of the city’s society, from the gangs to the government.

S2 is infamously awful, but the rest is pretty good. I love the show.

i read your reply before reading what you were replying to and knew without a doubt you were talking about FNL. S2 is really terrible, but it's also all the characters you love and occasionally they do things that redeem the terrible plots.

Heads Up.

Twin Peaks has been added to the instant watch section now.

also, the league and archer are also now on streaming

Love Archer, but I think that's been on there for quite a while...unless they added a new season or something.

it was, then they took it off for a while, and now it's back

not sure why that happened

They tend to do that when a new season comes out on broadcast.

So, since this is mostly movies I don't really want to watch, and it's either this, or 1DVD for $7.99, not both, and we watch MAYBE 2 movies a month... I think I'm just going to buy the movies I want to watch through iTunes....

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Tue Jul 12, 2011 5:52 pm

I wonder if they'll still have the two DVDs a month for $4.99 plan after this pricing change takes effect. If so, we may go back to that.

Although there a couple of shows we want to watch on streaming so I don't know. I'm thinking we might even alternate our plan every month of two so it's like one months of streaming and then one month of DVDs. I don't know.

I understand why they had to do the pricing change thing. Kinda sucks, but I'm pretty sure we'll be staying with Netflix anyway.

That's a really good idea.

I'd be happier if they just made the streaming plan $16 and had all the movies available.

Netflix would do that if they could.

I never watch the disc so I'm probably just going to go w/ the streaming only plan.

Dick Meatwood · **Posted:** Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:19 pm

They couldn't even do it for that much. As long as it's unlimited streaming, you're going to be limited on what's available.

I watched 6eps of Party Down on Sunday

Thanks for the heads up about the price change. I signed up with an email account I rarely check so I knew nothing about it. I rarely watch even a dvd per month. I think I've had Get Low out since early March and still haven't found the time to watch it. I like the idea of the instant streaming but most of the stuff I watch off it isn't worth paying much for. I should probably drop netflix and just walk across the street to the redbox once or twice a month instead.

Loved that show. I may need to rewatch it again.
