These days, it's becoming more and more difficult to catch your favorite TV show weekly. Sure, you can try to set aside that hour or half-hour. But things almost always come up! From dinner dates to those couple (hundred) loads of laundry that you've been putting off, it's hard to find time to sit down and watch a good program.
Lucky for you (and me), there is Netflix. The wondrous service that is Netflix is nothing TOO new, but recently news has leaked about an upcoming addition to its instant queue. Finally, AMC's Mad Men will be available for immediate viewing via Netflix's instant library. This is great news for those of us who are obsessed with the show's 60's-style drama, but don't always find the time to watch.
According to TheWrap.com, a Hollywood breaking news Web site, the new deal also incorporates Google, iTunes and Amazon. "We view Google, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon and other new digital media players as partners, not adversaries," said Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer. This is a smart move on Lionsgate's behalf; positioning itself as a team player rather than a competitor means that the video-streaming services will not soon take business away from the organization.
I'm personally very excited to re-watch all of my favorite Mad Men episodes in preparation for season five, which has been a long time coming. And with Jon Hamm (Mad Men's Don Draper) set to direct the first episode of the new season, it is sure to be one to watch! Stay tuned, folks.
