Matthew RobinsonSep 13, 06:26amI loved season one. Fell behind after that, though.

I mean, I fell behind.

I'm four episodes in.
Just amazing execution.
(do you think I should stop soon to keep my appraisal high?)
CUTE baby... memories

Should this go before or after Orange is the New Black in my queue?
-
Sally HoutmanSep 13, 07:15amWhen I click on the link above I get this:
"Netflix:
Watch TV shows & movies anytime, anywhere"
With this directly below:
"Sorry, Netflix is not available in your country yet."
Heh.
Apparently I don't live 'anywhere.'
:)

We can get Netflix now. So used to living without it, I hardly see the point. Like growing up without cable TV.
-
mxi woddSep 13, 07:19am
Good Gawd, child, where do live?!
Thou musteh liveth somewhereth!

"So used to living without it, I hardly see the point."
When I first read that, I read it as, there's no point in living without it.
But then, I *am* nowhere.

I don't understand the unavailability of Netflix in some countries.
I would assume Netflix would want a share of that market, so I can only assume that it is the countries themselves preventing access.
-
Frankie SaxxSep 13, 07:43am
I suspect it's media corporations more than countries. They seem bent on maintaining artificial distribution territories in the face of all logic.
-
mxi woddSep 13, 07:50am
You've got to be right. But why reject an internet presence? Protection of national tv distribution monies?
What business in said country would BENEFIT from not allowing Netflix to operate?
Or is said country demanding too much tax/fees for Netflix to profitably operate?
Inquiring Minds Want To Know!

More about arriving at distribution agreements between Netflix & rights holders & licensing & all that other 20th century IP crap.

Didn't mean to derail the discussion. But for those who want to know.............................
The answer is probably alarmingly more simple than you think. don't know about other countries, but in NZ we still have metered broadband.
YIKES!!
It's truuuuuuue.
Unlimited broadband?! (*choke* *Laugh* *snort*)
No one could AFFORD to watch all those cool movies!
Anyway, anyone interested can read this:
Now go back to talking about the cool show (I can't watch).
If anyone needs me, I'll be here carving more bison into my cave wall.
Can someone hand me a chisel?

Oh, New Zealand. Yeah, I heard you guys are still tying punch cards to pigeons down there.
-
James Lloyd DavisSep 13, 02:04pmIt's a matter of taste, I suppose. I managed to watch only about 7 minutes of this before needing a shower for the exposure, like the feeling you get after a bout of influenza... after a week without bathing or leaving the house. The show had the flavor of a sit-com under a layer of banality. Granted, energetic banality with a touch of self-effacement in the presentation, as though it's not ashamed of its lack of shame. But, like I said, I could only handle seven minutes before bailing, so maybe it got better.
But I'll never know. Life is too short.
Don't mind me. I also used to get hives walking through the Barbie aisle in a toy store. I only did it for my daughter.

So the "behind in the times" humor from Flight of the Conchords regarding New Zealand is accurate, eh?
-
mxi woddSep 13, 05:59pm
I agree with James.
It's one of the best shows I've ever seen.
;-)

James Lloyd DavisSep 13, 07:15pm
hahahahaha

mxi woddSep 14, 04:11am
Five episodes and I'm done.
(though I *did* break the seven-minute mark!)
((high-concept/concept played out))
-
Frankie SaxxSep 14, 10:10am
Wait, so is this like rickrolling, where you're trying to trick us into watching a really terrible show?
Won't work, buddy. I watched the whole first season of Honey Boo Boo all on my own.
-
mxi woddSep 14, 06:41pm
I thought the first four eps. were great, particularly since they were so over the top.
Father GOOFY without being stupid.
Mother sarcastic without being hateful.
Son naive without being...what's another word for stupid?
Great=grandmother demented/outrageous without being...disgusting.
But it was VERY high concept (i.e., limited) and it soon turned into the same thing over and over.
DEFINITELY watch the first four!
-
James Lloyd DavisSep 14, 07:38pm
Not a chance.
But thanks.

This thread is 23 posts long, and yet, no mention of the faving system or the good old days of Fictionaut.
Y'all are slipping.
-
mxi woddSep 14, 09:02pm
Well, I faved this show *
Then I removed my fave -*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm going to give it one more chance, though I doubt if the characters have grown an inch.
-
mxi woddSep 14, 09:49pm
Nah, don't bother, it's played out...
just like the good old days of tv
just a rehash of the same old tired threads trying desperately to be revived...

According to the Forum stats, JLD's been asleep for four hours now.
Should someone wake him up?
-
mxi woddSep 15, 04:46am
Shhhhhh...
-
Sally HoutmanSep 15, 05:55am
Yeah, let's leave him.
He is so *cute* when he's asleep.
-
mxi woddSep 15, 06:00am
That's what I'm talkin' about!
Just like that baby in Raising Hope!
(seriously cute kid... both of 'em)
-
Sally HoutmanSep 15, 06:05am
Ah, they grow up so fast...(both of 'em).
-
James Lloyd DavisSep 15, 04:55pm
You can call me a lot of things, but when you say 'cute' I can sense the underlying cause.
