Pamela Adlon and Jim Norton are great, but if you've seen his prior standup you've heard half the material anyway. It gets better and I've watched it twice - the realism and subject matter are unique to that format, I think. But it was cancelled for a reason, ymmv.

Prime has season 1 and I'm pretty sure they'll put season 2 up there a month or so before season 3 debuts. Other than that, I don't think it's out there.
yea....unfortunately i dont have prime.

had it at one point, but didn't see the point since i dont really ever order anything off of amazon and their streaming selections at the time were very limited. its been a couple years, so perhaps that has changed a bit and worth a look
Prime has The Americans season 1 and 2 also.

Hannibal's also on iTunes and Amazon as a digital purchase, though it's probably cheaper to just buy the blu-ray. And obviously you could rent the Blu Rays/DVDs from Netflix if you have that plan.

Haha - how does this image show up for Hannibal on Netflix? Whoever shopped it (and badly) never watched the show. It looks like they took it from another show.

I will say it is tough to get into Hannibal at first. I probably watched the first episode 3 times before I understood that Will was able to understand the killer's thoughts and was not in fact the killer.

Thanks, I'll stick with it.

It was interesting seeing Pam Adlon as Louie's loving wife in Lucky Louie, since I've already watched Louie (where she plays Louie's friend who he's in desperate, unrequited love with)

Hey, what's up? I'm happy detective Will Graham. Nothing major going on, just a dead woman in front of me. No big deal. I sure hope I catch whoever did it, though.

This pilot was awesome, btw. Can watch it here: http://www.amazon.com/Man-High-Castle/d ... igh+castle

Or just watch the title sequence, which is just as terrific:

Yeah, was just listening to a review of that this morning. Sounds promising.

I haven't watched "Hannibal". I think flying under the radar via NBC factor is main reason people aren't watching.

other factor is cannibalism topic as entertainment - especially if NBC is behind it.
