deejStuff Is Here!! (Part Three!)

As you can't have more than $6 credit at any time, you don't have to spend very long with it. If you're willing to let them see your web history, etc., you earn faster. It seemed to take about 20 30-second ads to reach that point and, as the same ones repeat again and again, you can zone out on what they actually say pretty fast and just wait for the "click here to prove you are watching" buttons. It was no worse than watching a few episodes of something on Hulu (and, when you watch the movies you rent or the TV episodes you buy, they'll be ad-free.)

I've got Amazon Prime so I'm focusing on things that aren't free with that. The movies I'm planning on so far are Despicable Me, Much Ado About Nothing, Kinky Boots and Juno. TV shows are House of Cards (the Kevin Spacey version -- I adored the original when it came out), Broadchurch, The two recent Doctor Who episodes and those two SNLs. I might also get Almost Human, Breaking Bad, Lost, Mad Men and The Walking Dead -- none of which I've seen. I figure I'll try a few episodes and decide.

Out of the series you mention I've seen House of cards, Breaking Bad, Mad Men, and The Walking Dead. All of which are available on Netflix (except the last season). Out of all of them I'd highly recommend Breaking bad. You can binge watch the first five seasons on Netflix and get the 6th and final season on Hitbliss.

I'd have gone nuts if I had to see them all (Breaking Bad) through Hitbliss. Some days, depending where they leave off, being limited to 3 episodes would've made me homicidal.

House of Cards is good too. Just started watching it for the 2nd time through so it will be fresh in my mind when the new season comes out in Feb.

Walking dead seems a little slow to me anymore. Just doesn't have that edge of the seat "What's gonna happen next?" appeal to me like it used to. But I will continue to watch.

Mad Men, around season 5 or 6 I found myself asking "Why am I still watching this?". To me it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Seemed disjointed as if they're simply trying to create new situations for the same characters with little to no interconnection between episodes, past references, or future consequences.

Breaking Bad will be next for us I think. Got to catch up with Sons of Anarchy.

Another good one. Not sure if the first 3 episodes would be enough to set the hook. But once the characters are developed and the story starts unfolding, it became a pretty heavy binge-er for me.

Who'da thought? Peggy Bundy as a bad ... biker old lady / club mom.

 

[FranC]

We're watched 3 seasons of the sons. Got to catch up with it. Good show.

I've never seen any of those shows. I like marathoning. It's especially good with cable sows because there aren't 20+ episodes to a season. Tomorrow I'll finish downloading Broadchurch then I'll watch the whole thing. For the "maybe" shows, I'll do the same if I like the first episode or two.

No Netflix. I'll have to do it all on HitBliss.

ETA: Can anyone explain why they've classified Breaking Bad as a "comedy"?

 

[FranC]

Not me. I haven't seen it yet.

Day-um. Only one of HL's SNLs is there. S34 is but not E11. And I wanted to watch the monologue again. He did a medley of Christmas carols that was about 5 seconds of each to avoid having to pay royalties (although I'm sure all the songs are public domain.) Amazon has it -- I might have to pay actual money for it.

That's a lot of Hitblissing. 8-o

Check with Amazon first, some of them have the first season or two free on Amazon Instant Video

Breaking Bad 1-3 free
Sons of Anarchy 1-5 free
Walking dead 1-2 free

Seems to be some combination of how many seasons, there are (how long it's been around) and if other services have it for free, that determines when it goes from paid to free on Amazon.

A 3 season (free) Marathon of Breaking Bad would make for a pretty good weekend IMO. Especially if you haven't seen it already.

As far as it being a comedy, maybe because the main character used to be Malcolm in the Middle's dad? Just kidding!!!

He in Breaking Bad and Peggy Bundy in Sons of Anarchy both do a tremendous job of shattering any "old mold" or character acting stereotypes people may have had.

In fact Bryan Cranston was nominated 4 years in a row (2011-2014) for "Golden Globe's Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama" and Katey Sagal Won "Golden Globe's Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama" for 2011. Both actors and shows also carried off a huge stack of prime time Emmy and SAG awards over the years as well.

That's no fun. I'm already verified. I was only asking because you told me to.

I'm in no rush.

Breaking Bad ain't free on my Amazon Prime. Haven't looked at the others yet.

In fact Bryan Cranston was nominated 4 years in a row (2011-2014) for "Golden Globe's Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series - Drama" and Katey Sagal Won "Golden Globe's Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama" for 2011.

Shut up. He's a major reason Hugh never won an Emmy.
2005 - lost to James Spader (The Practice)
2006 - not nominated (The subtle and nuanced performance of Kiefer Sutherland won.)
2007 - lost to James Spader
2008 - lost to Bryan Cranston
2009 - lost to Bryan Cranston
2010 - lost to Bryan Cranston
2011 - lost to Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights)
2012 - not nominated.

I'm a fan of good acting too. That's why I started following Hugh years ago. I just wasn't as rabid about it when all he was known for was light comedy like Black Adder and Jeeves & Wooster -- talk about breaking the stereotype. But you can't tell me he didn't deserve at least one Emmy for House.

 

[TravTech]

Hrm... Was not aware of that. I don't follow awards all that closely.

But I'd have to say, now that both shows have wrapped, considering both shows from start to finish, strictly for pure entertainment value, I'd have to give the nod to House.

The shows were so different though. To me Breaking Bad was all about the story, on the edge of my seat and wanting to see what twists & turns the plot would take. Though Bryan Cranston did a helluva job. But House to me was all about Hugh Laurie. He was the show IMO. All I cared about was what he was doing or going to get into next, and of course his humor.

As far as Amazon and free seasons, do you think it's possible they can tell I have Netflix? Because it's free on Netflix and the 1st 3 seasons are free on my Amazon Instant Video app. And I am a member of Amazon Prime. I wonder if it's because we access it differently?

Edit: I see what you mean. If I go through the web into Amazon they're not free. But The in the Amazon Instant Video channel / app on my Roku box they are. That's just crazy.

 

[Poeia]

I don't know. I can stream it -- if I buy it.

 

[Poeia]

Oh well, enough of that. I have to do an inventory so I can take advantage of Sybil's generosity.

Good evening,folks
