Brain Fry

Ever since joining the Netflix bandwagon we have watched a lot of TV... a LOT, a LOT! We've watched things we'd never think of watching before. I can especially say for myself that I have watched a lot of things that I would never have watched before and actually enjoyed them. Some of my recent favorites.

• Avatar: The Last Airbender (Yes, the cartoon series)

I came home from school early one night a few months ago to see Jonathan and the kiddos all cuddled up on the couch watching this. They had just started watching the first episode. Jonathan asked if I'd like to join them. I hesitantly said "Sure". I have never been interested in anything considered anime. For that matter, I've never been big into cartoons.

I sat down and they started the series over so I could watch the beginning with them. I actually really, really liked it! We just finished all three seasons as of last week and I am so excited to watch the movie now! Eek! 

• Stargate Atlantis

Browsing through Netflix we happened upon this and I instantly had to add it to our queue. The memories I have of watching this show are so vivid to me still. When I was younger, I was the best of friends with Andrea (I really wonder how she's doing, it's been years since I've seen or heard from her. Well before Joseph was born.) I would spend the night over at her house often, especially since her mother (RIP Honey Marie) and my mother were good friends. Honey would watch this and Highlander every night. Followed by her western movies. Lol 

We finally finished watching all 5 seasons a few months ago and have started watching Stargate SG-1. I know... We did it backwards. I freaking love these shows!

• FlashForward 

OMG! My sister introduced Jonathan and I to this show while we were in Georgia. We could not get enough! It was so addicting.

We got home, added it to our queue and watched every episode eager to see season 2. Little did we know, there was no season 2. The series was dropped after the first season because of poor ratings. POOR RATINGS??? This show was freaking amazing!!! 

Here's Netflix's description of the show:  
When a mysterious event causes nearly everyone to experience a simultaneous 137-second blackout and premonitions about their lives six months into the future, it's up to a team of FBI agents to find out if it will happen again and why.
 
Their description isn't even close to the show's awesomeness. Watch it!

• Death Note

This is another anime that is all in Japanese and English subtitled. I hate shows like that. However, Jonathan insisted I watch it and I'm glad I did. It was so dark, but so awesome too. I freaking loved it!

So if you're into anime, watch it!

These are just some of the series that we have watched. We have the 3 DVD at a time and instant streaming. We've watched so much TV, I'm surprised our brains are still functional.

What is everyone else watching? Anything you recommend? :)
