Announcement: New Slang

[krickets]

I invented a new word over at daybreak777's journal.

Netflixed = Inexplicably compelled to marathon a show (or watch a movie) just because you discover it's available on Netflix streaming. (Alternatively, this can refer to simply the act of watching something from/on netflix, but that's boring. This is better.)

Used in a sentence:
"I thought I would hate *insert name of show*, but I got netflixed."
"I couldn't stop watching old episodes of Roseanne last weekend. Netflixed, again!"


Examples:
Parks & Rec
Terriers (Although, that was more a long-awaited continuation.)
Switched at Birth (YES, It's true.)

Ooh, Roseanne! I could totally get sucked into that. I think in the beginning I kept watching The Big Bang Theory because Darlene (Leslie) and David (Leonard on BBT) were on it. It was like watching them date again all grown up!

There is a show about dogs called Terriers? Really?

Roseanne is kind of my hero. That show was so fantastic and touched on so many important topics.

Oh no, haha! Terriers is a really great little scrappy P.I. show starring Donal Logue and Michael Raymond James. It's short-lived, but so worth the marathon. I watched the first several eps when it was on TV but then lost track of it and it was cancelled. :( I feel personal guilt about this fact, haha. It's set in San Diego.

This is the only promo I could find for it:

Hee. I thought it was some mini Dog Whisperer-like show, lol. It reminds me a bit of Entourage in some way. Hmmm.

Well maybe that's why I liked it, haha. (LOVED Entourage, for some inexplicable reason.)

I really feel like Donal Logue and Michael Raymond James are MASTERS. After watching this show I would literally watch anything else they are in EVER. Especially MRJ. I miss their characters so much.

I missed the part about Roseanne! That show is awesome.
