Freeee you say!?! Ooooh...
Never even thought of Sony as a production house. I'm sure I've watched things by them, but just didn't put 2 & 2 together. I'll have to take a look.
Thanks. :)
What is this Crackle of which you speak?

Enjoy your new recliner. :)
I really like Netflix and wish they were able to show "everything"!!
If they don't have it I then look on Amazon Prime (although their seasons tend to be spendy, so if its not actually on Prime I don't buy/watch it) and then I go to Hulu Plus last (they tend to only have the last season of a show - and you still need to have cable/satellite to access some shows - like anything on CBS - which completely defeats the purpose!
Christa wrote: "Numb3rs!! I loved that show. Like, actually cried when it was canceled. Like the others you listed, too, especially Criminal Minds."Criminal Minds is so intense! I can see why Mandy Patinkin only lasted two seasons ... I'm about 6 or 7 episodes into season 2 now (Elle just forcefully resigned).
I had only watched the first season of Numb3rs previously, so right now its a rewatch but not for long. I like the Epps men, together. Their dad seems to be good about helping the boys understand one another - or at least helping Don understand Charlie. I think there needs to be someone to help Charlie understand Don, though. Does Amita fill that role - eventually, because I can't see Larry doing so. Larry confuses me; he seems more of a hinderance than a help when it comes to one on one social interactions, but he does seem to have a better understanding of human nature as a whole - at least when explaining it to Charlie.
Hubby went treasure hunting for all of NCIS for me..I think we have half of it, so far, and I'm hoping he can do the same for Castle and The Mentalist. I'm still mad about having to return the boxed set. I got to rewatch the first 3 seasons but it was really season 4 or 5 I was waiting to see...thats where I had originally stopped, once we canceled satellite! *Grump* The same with Castle, except we've opted not to risk buying the DVDs this time.
I've been doing absolutly no reading for the last 3 months - give or take - its been all Netflix. So I'm going on a blind book date today, based off of a recommendation from one of our fellow MobileRead peeps - Mr. WT - aka Tom.
Polly!If that goes well I'll see about moving on to my hubby's recommendation:
Redshirts.Other than that It'll be back to Criminal Minds, Numb3rs, NCIS and then hopefully Castle and The Mentalist.
I'm sorry you have a worrying appointment coming up. Best wishes with the doctors! Consider it a date for Undead Pool. I'd have to catch up anyway. I stopped a while back - I want to say either White Witch, Black Curse or Black Magic Sanction.
I haven't even started Kate Daniels yet.

It made me joyous and it broke my fucking heart. Dammit.
The next (which is also the last) is due out in a couple of months. I'm afraid to read it. I won't go i..."
I just got confirmation that my paperback copy will arrive on Tuesday. I'm waiting until after I receive the last one before diving into the series again.
I'm hoping, to have all of the novels and short stories so that I can do a complete read through.

Wait, you and Christa are the same age?

I think Buckley may become a favorite. He seems both very down to earth and matter of fact. The kids sound like real kids, even with their being highly intelligent super spies.
One of the the things I liked from the first book in his Sisters Grimm series, is that the younger sister (age 7) asks her older sister (age 11) for definitions of some of the words, instead of his "dumbing down" his vocabulary. I think its an ingenious way to keep a younger, or less skilled reader engaged in the story without their feeling its over their head.
