ABC TV shows now streaming on Netflix
Some shows, are available starting this week, and Netflix will roll out additional ABC/Disney shows in the following months. Of course, only paying Netflix subscribers can stream videos from the Netflix web site. For the rest of us (in the United States anyway), the Hulu deal is more exciting. But probably the most exciting thing is the fact that you can now watch ABC programming on two different web sites that lack the ABC.com video player's incredibly annoying interface.

I don't know if this is a labor of love or merely the brainchild of four very gifted games designers, but Level Up is a really weird mash-up of gaming elements that you have probably never seen in a Flash game before.
Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...

I've been visiting Hulu less and less recently, as many of my favorite episodes are "expiring" regularly -- meaning they're no longer available. That's not helpful to anyone; at least not to the viewers.
Maybe on Netflix they'll actually keep the shows on there for a while? I've watched quite a few movies on the Netflix streaming viewer, as well as several old TV shows...

YES!
At the end of season 5, I had the idea to go on a Lost marathon and rewatch all the previous seasons to remember some of the stuff that I forgot. I was procrastinating on adding Lost to my DVD queue because of the annoying process of getting one DVD, with 5 episodes, and then having to wait 2 days to get another one. And I didnt want to watch it on my computer, the couch is so much more comfortable. I heard ABC was adding Lost to hulu, and I was checking it every day to see until they had it so i could stream it to my 360. But this is so much easier! I love you Netflix and ABC!

This is depressing to read for members of the military living abroad. I used to be able to trick Netflix into streaming over my Xbox outside the United States, but they recently closed that "loophole". The movie studios demanding that those protecting us abroad have no chance to use services we get at home. And with no real data-security benefit, too. Way to go, Hollywood and Netflix! Sadly, I canceled my Netflix subscription over this. Why not base s
