So, I started watching Alphas, which I have found a little more entertaining.

I am finding the same for myself although I think I would take it a step further and say too much gratuitous 'anything'; sex, gore, way over the top violence, repetitive gross-out, ridiculous overuse of profanities, etc. I am far from a prude, and believe that within context, any of these in proportion can have impact relevant to a given plot.

I am noticing that without a fairly substantial cerebral hook things just don't hold interest anymore. Allowing that each person is going to like different things, there seems to be more and more out there that I can't figure out how anyone could like it.

Just my .02

I've watched an episode of Orange is the New Black, another Netflix original. It seems pretty good, but I'll have to get through a few episodes before I can really decide if I like it.

Lots of nudity, and a lot of sex scenes (but short ones, and they don't seem like soft porn, so it's tolerable, so far)...

Okay, 5 episodes in, and I really like it. Now I am in the know about the "I threw my pie for you"...Funny!!!

We just started sharing a Netflix account. Right now we do not have a box to watch it on the TV. What boxes do you like? We do not want to play video games. Do you need a box for each TV?

I am currently using my TiVo box, which is a DVR that also works with Netflix, Hulu+, YouTube, and Amazon, as well as Pandora, Rhapsody, etc for music (currently playing Pandora on there now ).

But I am becoming increasingly dissatisfied with it because there is a weird glitch happening with Netflix for something like the past 6 months - sometimes, it gets stuck and you cant ffw, pause, etc without getting out of Netflix and reloading it. Plus, I cant view my Amazon Prime instant videos through my TiVo - TiVo and Amazon dont seem to be able to agree to work together on that, so while I can rent/buy stuff on Amazon to download into my TiVo, Amazon wont allow me to stream the free stuff on my TiVo. That's really annoying.

I can use my Wii to stream both Netflix and Amazon prime, but it is slow and the picture is weird.

I have a friend who has and uses a Roku, so I am getting one of those in September ($70 on Amazon for the second to newest version). It isnt a DVR machine, just a streaming device, but there is no monthly fee associated with the device (TiVo is almost $22/mo), it is really small, and I can stream Netflix, Amazon, and tons of other channels that have streaming on-line like MSNBC, etc - except YouTube, but I never remember to access YouTube when I am on my TV anyway. lol

So, I just watched Flowers in the Attic.

That was .... weird.

You can buy a lot of different Netflix ready devices. For me, since I do not use dvds, the best, and least expensive choice was the Roku player (it also connects with multiple streaming services, like Amazon & Hulu). There should be a link for them on Netflix's site, but they have changed some things and I had a very hard time finding it, so here's the link. If you have multiple tvs, you need multiple devices. I also use my phone and Kindle to watch videos, if I can pick up wi-fi.

I have watched Lip Service, too bad it was only 2 seasons.
Orange is the New Black was great and glad to hear a second season will be happening.
Now watching The Misfits..interesting show....

Thank you Hollylane and Parker! I think we will go with the Roku although I am bummed we would have to get multiple boxes.
