Also both seasons of The Office (UK) IMO way better than the US series for streaming as well.

Have you seen TrueBlood, Curb, Game of Thrones, or Boardwalk Empire??

No I haven't yet. I'm basically going down the list of their shows lol. I'm finishing up my Showtime run (finished Dexter, not yet done with Weeds or Californication), then I'm heading back to HBO. Going to watch Rome, Oz, Deadwood, and Six Feet Under. Then I'll hit some of their newer ones like what you listed.

Are you paying for the service currently? I only ask, cause if you watch those shows you can catch the new seasons. But if not, it doesnt matter I guess lol.

Can't really compare The Wire or The Sopranos with Entourage because they are different types of shows. The Wire and The Sopranos might be the two best shows I've ever seen. I enjoyed The Sopranos a bit more though.

Where did you download them?

No not currently. I like to watch shows pretty fast. So I wait for a couple seasons to come out, then watch them at my own pace, which is much faster than one episode a week lol. So I'm watching the older ones first, then by the time I'm done with them there will be more of the current shows for me to watch.
Trueblood, curb, game of thrones, boardwalk empire>>>>>Rome, oz, deadwood, six feet under
Now I haven't seen any of these yet (plan to watch them all), but from what I've heard around the internet is quite the opposite, that the older shows are better than the current shows.
Where did you download them?
I download from one-click file hosting sites (rapidshare, fileserve, hotfile,...). I get the links from message boards dedicated to posting links for movies/tv shows etc. I think I found them on tehparadox.com.

Haven't watched all of them either, but those I've seen I agree the older is better. For the life of me I don't understand True Blood - wife watches it while I shake my head. Deadwood is far, far better.

lol, I dunno. But I suppose you can start and stop a bunch of shows/movies since it only saves the most recent like 3 or 4 views right?

No, there is no way as of like 2 weeks ago when I looked it up.

From what I found, a lot of people complain that they don't want their babysitters to see any raunchy shows that they may have watched on their roku, etc, which I can agree with.

It seemed like enough people complain about it that there will be a way soon, but not yet.

I called and they said that the movie companies don't want them deleted for some reason. Said that it is just like recording, or renting, or some shit like that. Said that it's out of their hands.

I will say that one thing that I don't like is that what you watch on your computer also shows up on the Wii "Recently Viewed" :)

I was watching Deadwood on HBO on demand when we had TWC,,,,, But, since switching to ATT UVerse, I dont see it now. Sucks, because I got to see the first season, and really want to watch the rest of the Series.

True Blood and Boardwalk Empire are both great shows as well.
