Six Feet Under

My new(ish) Netflix obsession is catching up on some of the great premium channel series that I never get to see. A one hour episode is easy to squeeze in here and there unlike a movie which requires a bit more dedicated of an effort (especially when some clock in at 180+ mins, ugh). On the downside though my new kick probably explains my lack of consistent blogging lately.

Anyways, the first show which got me going on the TV on DVD thang was Dexter (still my favorite). After that I got deep into HBO's Six Feet Under. It took about three months to work my way through an episode at a time, but I just bittersweetly finished the fifth and final season. Turned out to be an excellent show which will definitely go on my list of all time favorites. Next up, The Wire.

Dexter

I dig Dexter. Used to watch it occasionally whenever I had Showtime available, but I'm finally catching up on all of the back episodes now that Season 1 is out on DVD. Get on the band wagon now since it's gonna be all over CBS soon.

This American Life - Seattle

We recently went to the This American Life Tour show at the Paramount. Seattlest has a good review of the show here here. A few of the stories and some of the Mates of State songs we saw were included in this week's broadcast, a podcast of which can be found here. I highly recommend at least checking out David Rakoff's excellent story.

The tour was also pimping the new TV version of the show which will be running on Showtime. The show looks really good, so we are now full-on Showtime subscribers (anything else on there worth watching?).

Ninja Warrior

Jarett turned me on to G4's Ninja Warrior today. It's sorta like MXC only ten times better.
