Things to Do With Your Kids

Netflix to Make Shows Based on DreamWorks Characters, Cement Their Dominance Over the World’s Children

by Rebecca Pahle | 11:07 am, June 17th, 2013

Netflix-less parents, be prepared to buy a Netflix account so you can get your kids to shut up about wanting to see the new How to Train Your Dragon TV show. That’s how parenting works, right? You can tell I’d be such a quality mother.

I would kind of like to see a How to Train Your Dragon show, though.

Netflix Will Offer Multiple User Profiles for Accounts

by Brooke Jaffe | 2:00 pm, June 12th, 2013

In what I choose to interpret as a tacit acknowledgement of users sharing accounts, internet giant Netflix has finally announced that they will implement features to accomodate multiple user profiles within a single account. As of now, the profile count is oscillating between five and six per subscription, but that has yet to be completely decided.

Netflix Head of Content Talks Why Arrested Development Could Make a Comeback, and Other Shows Can’t

by Susana Polo | 12:34 pm, May 3rd, 2013

Netflix is pretty decent when it comes to piracy. In fact they just implemented a measure that makes it easier to share one Netflix account between multiple people. So it’s not surprising to hear their Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos, say something like:

I think people do want a great experience and they want access – people are mostly honest. The best way to combat piracy isn’t legislatively or criminally but by giving good options. One of the side effects of growth of content is an expectation to have access to it. You can’t use the internet as a marketing vehicle and then not as a delivery vehicle.

But what’s more interesting to me, in the same interview, is what he says about bringing back old television shows with cult followings, specifically for Netflix, and why we shouldn’t expect new episodes of Twin Peaks, Firefly, or Buffy to show up anytime soon.

Netflix Makes a New Family Plan for All You Worthless Freeloaders

by Susana Polo | 4:18 pm, April 24th, 2013

As far as allowing you freedom to watch, Netflix is pretty good about things. You can register up to six devices to an account at one time, and stream simultaneously to two. It’s also pretty cool about passwords and log ons. No digging into your cable provider’s website to find your registration info, or worse, calling your friend with HBO and instructing them on how to find that info on their cable provider’s website.

And so Netflix knows that somewhere around 10 million of its subscribers are getting the service for free, by logging in under the accounts of friends or family, but rather than cracking down on those folks, they’re offering another option.

In America, Netflix Now Has More Subscribers Than HBO

by Susana Polo | 2:00 pm, April 23rd, 2013

Cheeky, cheeky, Netflix, putting one of your own original series here. The day may come when we see HBO shows available to stream on Netflix. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends, and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day.

Not now that more Americans can watch Netflix than HBO.

Charmed and Supernatural Are Among the Top Ten Shows We Foolishly Decide We Can Watch All At Once, If Only We Don’t Sleep

by Rebecca Pahle | 2:00 pm, April 11th, 2013

Ahhh, binge watching. I love it and I hate it. Thinking of that time I watched 16 episodes of Community in one day fills me with pride, just as remembering how I spent that whole day slouched on the sofa, smelly and covered in popcorn kernels and spilled salsa, makes me feel the tiniest bit bad about the direction my life has taken.

Even if we feel bad about binge watching, we’ve all done it. And a recent study by The NPD Group has determined which shows we’re binge-watching most frequently.
