The TV thread

I see the promos for it, but not listing for the DVDs.
Netflix is telling me its on my list but it's not in my DVD queue.

 

Netflix is only giving me the option to put it in my instant list, not my DVD queue.

 

I'd be surprised if it's actually "on DVD" yet.

 

That's what I'm trying to find out about.

We are very much on the DVD tip still. We don't stream videos because we're wifi only in the house. The data usage for video streaming of any significance is cost-prohibitive.

 

I think if they put it out on DVD they would have to make it available to the other rental places. That will happen eventually, but I would guess Netflix wants to be the "exclusive" place for Orange is the New Black and the Kevin Spacey series (forget the name) for at least a couple months.

I would go back and find out the date that Season 1 came out on DVD compared to the date it started streaming and I would figure it would be a similar timeframe for Season 2.

 

If I remember right, I saw House of Cards in a Redbox roughly six months after it debuted on Netflix.

 

Did anyone watch the series premieres of the 4 new dramas on cable last night? USA Network's Rush & Satisfaction and FX's Married and You're The Worst. I liked Rush as it seems to be a cross of a very dark version of Royal Pains and what you could imagine Greg House became after he & Wilson ended their East to West Coast road trip and Wilson survived his cancer. Sepinwall called it "Royal Pains meets Ray Donovan." I liked Satisfaction too as it's something different from what we've seen on TV before. Haven't yet had the chance to watch the two FX shows.

FX's Married and You're The Worst are supposed to be comedies.

 

I have to think Faxon and Greer accepted the job because they wanted to work with each other. Same with Hodgeman and Slate because the script is very far beneath them. "Married" is pretty much a low-brow This is 40.

 

I want to like Married because of Greer, but it's gonna be tough getting past Faxon. He ruined that show with Dakota Johnson for me.

Thought You're The Worst had a little promise, some spark.

 

The more I watch reruns of Friends, the more I think the other five should have ditched Ross in about the second episode.

 

Absolutely, the "which doesn't belong, and why?" candidate, among that crew.
