If you love history then you MUST check out "The Dark Ages" documentary on Netflix done by The History Channel.

I'm going to check it out.

A friend of mine told me that Netflix greenlit the show based on their own demographic data. Apparently, their data showed that a large percentage of viewers who liked political drama, Kevin Spacey movies, and David Fincher movies, so they knew they'd have a sizable, built-in audience right out of the gate. So it's not as risky for Netflix as you might think.

Beyond the Black Rainbow.

It answers the age old question "What if Stanley Kubrick brilliantly directed that weird dream you had once after you fell asleep watching a horrible sci-fi movie?"

TV Show Reaper. Really, really good. About a kid whose parents sold his soul to Satan and now works for the Devil catching escaped souls from hell.

Sucks it was canceled after only 2 seasons, still well worth watching.

Is that the documentary about Adam West's wing of the studio at Family Guy?

Poor Bret Harrison. He has been in some really good shows that just couldn't catch on. I LOVED The Loop. Breaking In was pretty good too. Reaper was good as well. The Loop had two seasons, but season two was re-worked to the point that it didn't work and they never even gave it a chance, running the entire second season in a few weeks span. Really disappointed about that. I go back and watch in on DVD from time to time.

Stargate SG-1 is a win and a half.
