In a world where Netflix is available to stream via a streaming player, in my case the Roku, television viewing habits get skewered completely.. In my case I set up to run something like five shows, three in the primetime slots of 7:ish to 10:ish.. and I have three shows that fit in the three hours there but it is more of a three hour block where three plus shows fit.. If I start at seven straight up which rarely ever happens.. Most of the time I get into the roku at about seven, but usually that first little bit it spent checking for new channels (apps) in the channel store in the "new" tab.. And I add what looks like the more interesting channels that cross my taste.. Then I might take a quick look at them or I will click into Netflix and start watching my shows.. After watching Continuum, I decided not to watch another show on the same feeling and instead started Scandal, followed by the Fosters and then rounding out the nights viewing I started watching the Walking Dead season 4.. I already watched it by way of torrent last year, and after the siege at the prison episode that was the end of the first half of season 4 the second part starts out with the people that were at the prison scattered and trying to make it on their own.. These episodes were the ones where character development took place, as if they weren't developed before the second half of season four.. But it's interesting but also somewhat depressing.. But they get back together again, little by little until they reach Terminus and then the shit hits the fan.. Season 5 has started and I'm wondering how it unfolds.. I should start watching those by next week sometime.. The other shows that are on my block to be watched are One Tree Hill (a kiddie soap opera, who's sleeping with Brooke today (but I love Sophia Bush, so there's my reason for watching the child soap)) With Life Unexpected being the other show.. Where was that one from?? Well turns out it is on the CW which is a channel we don't get on our cable system, not that I would have watched it initially on network tv.. But getting to explore some shows on Netflix this way is the better way to watch shows anyway.. Hart of Dixie returns as the floater show, and gets watched once a week, usually Thursday nights... I don't binge watch on Netflix, there's just too much that interests me.. Farscape was the show I was going to watch but didn't because of my thinking it might be too close in likeness to Continuum...
Plans are to watch these shows through their final shows, some are done others will continue.. Then start shows like Burn Notice or Eureka or Warehouse 13 which are quite similar (Eureka and warehouse 13 are alike) But the start of 2015 will see the show Friends being brought to Netflix.. I had heard rumors that Seinfeld was being brought to the 'flix but still no confirmation.. Some of that is on Crackle now.. Oh yes, Rehab Addict is a half hour (22 minutes actually) show that I watch just before switching to the i-tunes channels and listening to the Czabe as I drift off to sleep.. Another night of viewing and listening in the books..
