A Short Review of The Walking Dead Season 2

The Walking Dead Season 2

I bought the Walking Dead season 1 on DVD when it first came out.  Best Buy had a great deal on it and I took advantage.  Got it on Blu-Ray too :)  It took me awhile to watch the show because my wife hates horror and violence so I had to watch late night when I could.  I thought the show was decent but not great.  That all changed with season 2. I picked up season 2 from Amazon.  My … [Read more...]

Amazon Watchlist

Amazon Instant Video Watchlist

I have been using Amazon Instant Video for over a year to supplement my TV watching ability.  Since I don't have cable Amazon has become the source for shows I want to watch but could not view otherwise.  Despite the money I spend with them I am actually still saving a ton over keeping my cable bill going.  Yet with all the greatness of Amazon and all that it has done for me I have always had … [Read more...]

Amazon Prime Time

Amazon Prime

I signed up for a free one month subscription to Amazon Prime.  At the very least I recommend you do the same thing.  Especially if you have a Roku or Amazon Instant Video capable device.  There is some pretty good content worth checking out, just make sure you clear your TV watching docket so that you have the free time to take full advantage of what they are offering.  Since most shows just … [Read more...]

A Short Review of Ultimate Spider-man

usm-xd

A couple of months back Disney XD launched a new show Ultimate Spider-man.   It was great timing for release of the show given Marvel's popularity and the up coming release of The Amazing Spider-man.  Unfortunately they went a direction with the show that I simply did not enjoy.  Then again this is Disney XD and I am not exactly their target audience.  I was so hopeful though given the quality … [Read more...]

A Short Review of Young Justice

Young Justice

I just finished watching Young Justice season 1.  Presented by Cartoon Network, Young Justice is 26 episodes of DC comic greatness.  With better animation than even the heralded Justice League show, Young Justice is the story of the Justice League "sidekicks" forming their own team.  The team consists of Robin (Dick Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West), Miss Martian (Martian Manhunters niece), … [Read more...]

A Rant Against Hulu’s Proposed Changes

Hulu Plus

I have actually spent a lot of time and energy on my blog promoting the use of Hulu as a great way to be free of expensive cable bills. I have even suggested that they up the number of commercials or up the monthly cost of Hulu Plus as a way to bring in content providers.  I believed in Hulu as a viable alternative to expensive cable bills, less content but at less of a price.  I believe there … [Read more...]

Those Wacky Comedies on Netflix

Better Off Ted

Netflix has done really well by me. I have had the chance to catch up on some really good shows even if they did not stay on the air very long.  Over the last few weeks my wife and I have been testing out a lot of different comedies available on Netflix.  While I have not watched all the episodes available for each of these shows, I have watched the first few and can either recommend or pass on … [Read more...]

My Initial Review of Amazon Prime

Amazon Prime

Over the weekend I decided to start my free trial of Amazon Prime.  Yup you can do a free month trial and get all the benefits of their Prime service.  This includes free 2 day shipping, access to the Prime Instant Video library and if you happen to have a Kindle, access to some free books.  The full year subscription cost $79.  As I have stated before this service is mainly about the shipping … [Read more...]

A Short Review of Justified – Season 3

Justified-Season-3-Wallpaper-justified-27943426-1600-1200

This morning I am kinda pissed off.  Why you ask?  Because this season of Justified is over, I finally watched the last episode thanks to my Amazon season pass subscription.  The good news is I can go back and watch it again any time I like. For those of you who may not know, Justified is one of the best shows on TV.   It stars Timothy Olyphant as Marshal Raylan Givens, a throw back to the … [Read more...]
