I had a good Netflix binge last night. I watched 3 episodes of The Dick Van Dyke Show, 3 episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, and 2 episodes of Wilfred (which is a very, very weird show). I'm really enjoying the hell out of The Dick Van Dyke Show on Netflix. Every episode you watch, you can tell that everyone is enjoying the hell out of what they're doing, Dick Van Dyke especially. They bleed with enthusiasm and when they laugh on screen you can tell it's genuine. I know it's a different era and all, but you don't really see that on modern TV, with everyone being so focused on a perfect delivery. I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that it's refreshing.

I'm actually thinking of writing a letter to Netflix, letting them know that I'm excited that they're showing classic TV shows such as Dick Van Dyke, Andy Griffith, M.A.S.H., and The Twilight Zone. I figure on letting them know I'd love to see more classic shows, such as The Flintstones, I Dream of Genie, the Adam West Batman series, Bonanza, and anything else from back when. They're all good, honest fun.
