Free Shows on NetFlix

I've mentioned it before, but you can watch TV shows and movies online with your NetFlix membership. I think this is GREAT. Not only do I get to watch the movies and TV shows I really want to see on DVD, but I get to browse some 'B' (let's face it, some 'C', 'D', and 'F') movies as well. I probably watch too many movies and shows, to be honest with you. I have been watch ing some old Dr. who shows, and season one of the new Dr. Who series was recently added. I've also watched some ok movies. They weren't great, or else I would probably remembe them better. Anyway, I was excited when I saw a blast from my past added to the 'Watch Online' portion of NetFlix: Voltron, Defender of the Universe. I'm sure that I won't like it as much as I did back in the day, but i bet I wll get a good kick out of it. It's the cool one, with the lions, not the one with the little ships. if you don't remember, Voltron was the Power Rangers of the '80s. Five lion-robots piloted by five teen-types that form into a kick ass robot with a huge sword. It would fight other huge robots sent by bad guys trying to take over the planet. Loads fun to watch. It made me think, what other cartoons did I HAVE to see when I was little?

-Voltron - the one with the lions
-Transformers - With Optimus Prime, instead of Rodamus
-GI Joe - before Cobra-la
-Thundercats - is it weird that I thought the female one was hot?

Then when I was younger:

-Smurfs
-Snorks
-Gummy Bears
-Dungeons and Dragons

Anyone have anymore movie ideas for me to add to my NetFlix queue?

Oh the good old days. Whatever happen to the Smurfs, Gummy Bears, shirt tails etc.? Now our kids get Brazts! If you ever see Smurfs or Gummy Bears back on TV make sure you let me know.

I see alot of old cartoons on TV. you need cable though. The channel is called Boomerang and has all sorts of old cartoons.

I love Netflix! But I highly doubt you would like anything in my queue. It's all romance, drama, and other girly-type things. I'm on the last season of Alias....only one more DVD to go before I'm done with it. I'll be sad to be done, but it gets kind of obsessive/addictive, so it will be good, too.

I liked Alias. you should try Lost next. Same creator.

Yes, it's weird you thought Cheetara was hot. :)

It's even more weird, Woody, that you remembered her name!
