They aren't very expensive considering how wonderful it is once you have it. My husband and I seem to watch most of our tv that way now. We have caught up on so many great series that way. Vampire Diaries was one of the first we watched that way. <br /><br />Rebecca: We just started Fringe, too, but are only a few episodes into it. We are really liking it.<br /><br />Nikki: I can't wait to see how you feel about Season 4 of TVD.Suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-35765633903881542562013-07-10T21:02:14.113-04:002013-07-10T21:02:14.113-04:00I'm glad the Originals have their own series -...I'm glad the Originals have their own series - so I can avoid them. ;)<br /><br />Damon is the MAN!

I have fabulous speakers on my computer, but my version of Windows is too old and creaky to play Netflix videos. The only computer in our house that will work with Netflix is Larry’s laptop, and the speakers on it remind me terribly of a pocket transistor AM radio circa 1968. Also, one of the reasons I love DVDs is the bonus features. I finished S3 of “Downton” on Sunday, but I’m still enjoying the behind-the scenes stuff. I doubt very much that Netflix includes these wonderful treats.<br /><br />I’m still going to finish my rewatch of “Fringe”, but I got sidetracked with “Arrested Development” and then “Downton”. I will soon pick it up again and finish S2, and then get S3 and “September’s Notebook”. (Yay!) Speaking of expanding my DVD collection, whether or not I ever get to see “Much Ado” in a theater, I’ll be the first kid on my block to have it on DVD!<br />Marebabenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-57281360498097531892013-07-08T23:40:15.038-04:002013-07-08T23:40:15.038-04:00Marebabe: I WANT to see Much Ado again, but it was...Marebabe: I WANT to see Much Ado again, but it was only showing in a theatre near me for 1 week, which I happened to manage to hit. It's got the combined Shakespeare stigma (no one will want to watch it!) and the Whedon stigma (why does Hollywood hate him? WHY!?)so now I just keep sighing and checking obsessively for a DVD release (no news yet).<br />Nikki: I've seen the books for Call the Midwife, but haven't had a chance to check it out. It does look interesting. And yes, I agree that the end of DA S3 was contrived, but I blame that on Dan Stevens who I am now not a fan of. I'm sure there were things we didn't hear about, but I don't understand why he left when the show probably only has a year or two left before it isn't going to be supportable (without some MAJOR overhaul). Just the aging alone is already problematic.<br />Marebabe (again): (gee I'm being chatty tonight) Netflix is my best friend. I've been watching Fringe with my Mom, Dad, and sister and I'm so in love with the show it's driving me crazy to have to wait for them to watch the rest of it.Rebecca T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11994380364321336824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-88708331777919168342013-07-08T15:32:17.699-04:002013-07-08T15:32:17.699-04:00Dear Nikki: Thanks all to pieces for the invitatio...Dear Nikki: Thanks all to pieces for the invitation! I guess you know it’s a tempting offer. I’m surprised that you’re still waiting for the wide release of “Much Ado”, seeing how the world premiere was in Toronto. And thanks for the red-hot tip about “Call the Midwife”. I’ve heard praise for it from other friends and critics. I wonder if it’s on Netflix? Back in May, I started up a Netflix account so I could watch the new season of “Arrested Development”. So far, that’s all I’ve seen on Netflix. I should browse around and see what else there is.Marebabenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-66554777458281303312013-07-08T15:12:05.790-04:002013-07-08T15:12:05.790-04:00And YES my husband and I marathoned Downton Abbey ...And YES my husband and I marathoned Downton Abbey over about a month and loved it. Didn't like the end of S3 (contrived) but I still love the family and the adventures and when it was over I thought, "Well... NOW what?!" ;) And then I discovered another BBC series called "Call the Midwife." If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it to both of you; it's fantastic!!!

Since this post seems to be the place for people to share “What I Did on My Summer Vacation”, I saw recently on Facebook that you were waxing enthusiastic about seeing “Much Ado” AGAIN. And it STILL hasn’t opened in any theater in Wichita. I checked online to see when it might, and all I found was a theater up in the Kansas City area that is currently showing it. I’m seriously considering rounding up my sister-in-law and a couple nieces and doing a Road Trip if it isn’t coming to Wichita pretty darn quick! I find the current situation unacceptable.Marebabenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-61793031222517503182013-07-08T10:36:14.862-04:002013-07-08T10:36:14.862-04:00I can't tell you how happy I am you finally ha...I can't tell you how happy I am you finally have hopped on the TVD bandwagon! It's funny, though - Naomi saw the second season before she saw the first season and she's told me that she doesn't think she would have liked it if she'd started at the beginning, but she could appreciate the first season more having seen the second.<br /><br />And Marebabe - DOWNTON ABBEY! Oh my goodness I can't even handle the way the third season ended and I'm VERY curious to see what they do in S4!Rebecca T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11994380364321336824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-65247949865330201562013-07-08T09:48:56.486-04:002013-07-08T09:48:56.486-04:00I always enjoy these posts on what you’ve been up ...I always enjoy these posts on what you’ve been up to lately. The only thing we’ve seen in common is “Monsters University”, which was pretty wonderful. I’ve just finished watching all of “Downton Abbey”. It took only a few weeks, and I watched the S3 finale yesterday. So now I’m waiting for its return next winter, like the rest of you. It is super-sudsy, and I love it!Marebabenoreply@blogger.com
