The IT Crowd: British TV show on Netflix Streaming

There are two episodes especially that made us laugh until we thought we would die. The first episode I mentioned in one of my blogs is called, The Speech and is Series 3 episode 4. that I quoted in: The 1 Billion Dollar Computer loss in the Air Forc...
at the very end that I put there about 3 days after I originally wrote the blog.

The second one that my son and I almost died laughing at is called: "The Work Outing" and is Season 2 episode 1. Now here is a caveat. If you don't like gay parodies the way the English do them then you might be offended by this one. However, it is one of the funniest if not the funniest of any IT Crowd episode I have ever seen. One of the Stars of this show was also a policeman in "Bridesmaids" the movie.

Another funny TV show at Netflix if it is still there is called:

    It is about the lives of young men and their girlfriends living in a trailer park in Canada. But, it is very upsetting comedy because some people's lives are actually this crazy. In the 1950s when my family was living a lower middle class life I met many crazy people like this, and some people who tried to kill me were sort of like this. So, when I watched a few episodes of this series I felt both terror (from my experiences) and nostalgia for people who were like this. However, 20 years from now people like this likely will be doing the same thing and ruining their lives and everyone else's. So, I could only watch about 3 o 4 episodes before I felt my brains sort of rotting out of my head. But it is still funny in some of the same ways that the HBO series "Girls" is. It is about people destroying their lives physically and psychologically and not knowing any better. So, even though it is funny it is also sad too.
    Another series if you haven't watched it and like Science fiction and comedy British style is "Red Dwarf". Most members of my family have watched all the episodes that were made and I think they still are on Netflix Streaming. Also, if you like to stream a lot it is good to get something like a Roku puck which can stream netflix, Amazon prime and other sites directly onto your living room big flatscreen. My son and I set it up. Also, if you get an Amazon Prime account you get free shipping from then on from Amazon.com. When my son built a desktop computer for my wife's best friend he bought all the parts for 700 and saved 300 in shipping by buying them all through Amazon. So, he could custom make a computer much better than anything you can buy stock off the shelf this way. But mostly people who like to play online games do this. I was able to buy a Roku puck for only about 50 dollars on sale but I think now there are about 100 or more to buy. They are about the size of a hockey puck or maybe a little larger.  Here is more info on Red Dwarf the British classic cult Sci-fi program you can now stream on Netflix
