I've seen a couple of clips so far that have been pretty funny, but if you think it's fun it may be best to stay away.

Watched the first two episodes of The Jinx, crazy fascinating stuff. It's really something I just can't wait to watch more and more of.

[livid]

Even with (presumably) knowledge of what happens? Interesting because I put it off and wasn't sure if it would be worth watching after knowing what happens.

[Benjamin]

Oh, I have only a very small idea of what happens. Basically I kinda' know the ending, not what's in-between. Tried to avoid as many spoilers as possible.

Hey, just because I have tastes with which you don't agree doesn't mean that everything I like is crap. Give the man a chance.

I really enjoyed this past season of Shameless but that season finale was disappointing. I feel like they've done all they can do with these characters and it's about to reach Supernatural levels to me as far as interest.

HBO Now has dropped for all interested parties. They're doing a month free for a limited time, then $14.99/mth.

Signed Short Girl up so she could binge on the last episodes of "Looking". You can tell they used the same company as WWE, though. Site doesn't work in ChromeOS but has watchlists. Better search engine than anything WWE's had, though.

They just went and basically reseted everything, and it was such a huge letdown. I honestly couldn't believe how they ended it, there's barely anything that you could point to and be absolutely geared up to watch for next season.

The Simpsons will no longer release seasons on DVD

[CobraKaiEnTai]

Damn, I've got all the season DVDs in my collection (plus the two Christmas themed ones and Treehouse of Horror and such). I've kinda run out of room for anymore right now, but still was looking forward to getting more in the future. Seems incomplete that they have Seasons 1-17 and then Season 20 without 18 and 19 getting released. But I guess that's just the way of the world, DVDs will go the way of VHS and so on, but still disappointing to hear.

[Benji]

I'm kind of surprised, I don't really know many people who actually bothered converting to Blu-Ray over DVD barring genuine film buffs. I suppose the internet has killed it off more than Blu-Ray, but still weird to hear.

Extra two minutes of John Oliver and Edward Snowden.

For the most part, when I buy new ones it's always BluRay. I think that's more what's killing DVD sales, if you just wait a bit you can get most BluRays for about the price of a DVD, or at least around an acceptable level. But then I only ever really buy stuff I really want, it's like my way of saying "This show/film was so good I need to make sure I can always watch it, whenever I want, forever".

Yo Garfunkle and Oates is great, as is to be expected since their music is lovely.

I also think I just like shows starring funny women since funny men are generally just douches.

[apsham]

I am super excited that Garfunkel & Oates is excellent because even if it stunk, I'd probably still be saying that it was awesome due to my undying adoration for Kate Micucci.

[LittleDaniel]

The Cooch!

I need one answer before I give them my money.

Is Deadwood on there?

[Thrilla]

Man, the siege of Paris episode of Vikings is great. The fighting is what the Blackwater Bay episode of Game of Thrones should have been.

I'll check when I get on a browser that can handle HBO Now's login.

Edit: Ready your wallet for funds. All three seasons of Deadwood are available.

Man, I almost can't watch Last Man on Earth. Watching Phil make dumb decisions over and over and he still doesn't lose it drives me nuts.

EDIT: Oh man. It's like watching the slowest of deaths.
