I just looked because I have been wanting to watch it but need to catch up from the beginning and found it on Amazon Instant Video. I already have the Prime and it's unlimited streaming free for Prime members. Now just need to remind my partner that I've put up with NASCAR and football for the past couple of years so it's my turn to have at least an hour a day for the TV.

Oh - I need to hijack my daughter's Prime account then. Thanks for tip! I understand on the NASCAR / football TV hogging. The days of non-stop couch sitting and football watching for the husband are endless.

Have been thinking about buying another TV as the second one we have is so old, it needs a converter because it isn't digital. This may be the time to do it. :)

Wow - does it have a crank handle on the side - like a model T Ford? :biggrin2::laugh:

Don't banish me from the SKMB - I is just kiddin! ;)

The sad thing is it's a really nice Sony TV that still works..other than needing either a digital converter or to be hooked up to cable or satellite. I could just get a second receiver for DirecTV but to be honest, I'd rather get a new TV as it's one of those huge hulks that takes up nearly a 1/3 of the triple bureau in the bedroom because we haven't got anyplace else to stash it and it weighs a ton so have just left it there collecting dust (which I do dust when it needs it :)). I hate to just throw it away. Should probably put a free for the taking in Craig's List as it might be useful to somebody for video games although I'm not even sure if it has the right connectors for that. :(

I know what you mean - of the three TVs that went out the door, all of them were good brand names, still functioning and two of them were quite large (27 inches). Well, 27 inches seemed large to me anyway. Now we have a 42 inch and a 47 inch flat screen and the smallest TV is in my son's "TV room". Even that one is about 32 inches.

Go for it Marsha - buy a nice flat screen and you could donate the old one to charity. I wanted to do that myself but they were so heavy I could not carry them to the car. I hope that 1-800-GotJunk found good homes for them or that they at least got recycled.
