The holidays are almost upon us and that means we will be busy, busy, busy. So, at this time of the year, I really enjoy the moments when I can just enjoy a nice drink like this Red’s Orange White Russian that I am sharing and catch up on some of my favorite TV shows.

Catching Up On My Favorite Shows On Netflix

As many of you already know, we cut the cord a few months ago. That means that we got rid of satellite. We then decided to try out Netflix. At around $8 a month, it is really a steal. I especially love that you can watch your programming whenever you want, without the fear of accidentally cleaning our the entire DVR {yes, I have done that doh}! Plus, you can also watch your shows where you want, when you want. You can watch them on your ipad on the go, with your gaming device such as a Wii, or on your big screen in the living room. This is TV that really works with your lifestyle.

With Netflix, I have been able to catch up on old favorite programming like Wings and Law and Order: SVU and I have even watched the entire Private Practice series – something I never watched when it originally aired. It looked interested, but it overlapped with something else I watched or didn’t work with my schedule. I have also been able to see quality programming that you can only find on Netflix. And, with Thanksgiving coming up, I went through the new additions to Netflix last night and added some holiday programming to my cue like National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and some of the Charlie Brown classics. What fun these will be to watch during the holidays!

Orange Is The New Black

I am really digging the show “Orange Is The New Black”. Not just because it has a similar title as Cheap Is The New Classy *wink* but also because it has top notch actors that I like such as Taylor Schilling, Jason Biggs and Laura Prepon. I really loved Schilling in “Mercy” and hate that it was canceled. But now I get to see her in this new show about her adjustment from upper middle class to prison life. I watched the entire 1st season in one weekend and am impatiently awaiting the 2nd season’s release.

Another very cool character in Orange Is The New Black is Red {played by Kate Milgrew}. She went from being a member of the Russian mob to head chef in the prison kitchen. Trust me, she proves that is a position of power. Curtis Stone has partnered with Netflix to come up with a White Russian Recipe inspired by her character.
