Since I moved from cable to Hulu Plus earlier this year, I've had to find new shows to follow vs. click around and find something interesting to watch. It's kind of been harder than I thought, but I love the massive savings from switching to cable. I spent roughly $70/month vs. $7.99/month. For a yearly savings of roughly $744.12.
The shows:
Hart of Dixie is about a NY doctor that moves to Blue Belle, Mississippi to be a small town doctor. The cast of characters is so fun! Take a peak:
Jane the Virgin is another show I'm addicted too. It's about a Latina woman in her 20s. It represents a lot of what its like to be in a Hispanic family.
Millionaire Matchmaker-I know some people don't like Patty Stanger, but I love her no-nonsense, blunt approach. I just finished Season 7 on Hulu Plus.
About a Boy is about a quirky, British mother (played by the lovable Minnie Driver), her nerdy young son, and her attractive, Peter Pan-esque male neighbor. Every episode is always funny and relatable to a degree.
America's Next Top Model is full of drama and fashion. I could never do it. I just finished Season 21.
Top Chef matches with my deep love of cooking and innovation. My favorite chef just won on Season 11.
Any shows that I should add to my Watchlist? :)

Goodbye Cable
After talking about it for months, I've gotten rid of cable. I was driven to it by the rising cost of cable. My cable and internet bill was $125 a month. So, after talking with friends who use services like Netflix, Hulu Plus, and Amazon Prime I decided to make a change. It'll take a lot of getting used to, but the savings are enormous.
Generally, you can stream through your laptop or DVD player. In my case, my two year old DVD player wasn't one of the ones I could stream off of. This was an issue for me since I'd have to stream off my laptop and you can't use your laptop and stream at the same time. So, I went to Wal-Mart and talked to a very helpful employee in electronics. He said I could buy Chromecast and stream from that while being able to use my laptop. I didn't know this, but Chromecast is something you put into the USB drive of your TV. It was $35, so it seemed like a decent deal, compared with not being able to use my laptop. Chromecast doesn't work with Amazon Prime, so I bought a short HDMI cord for use with that. For all supplies, minus service, I paid $44. Hulu Plus is $7.99/month and Amazon Prime is $99/year. Any way you cut it, it's a huge savings.

Here's an article that made me think through the saving from switching from cable.
I think, I'll enjoy the switch and money saved. Maybe I'll even watch a little less TV...

I Love
I don't care what all the critics say, I love Taylor Swift's new song and music video, "Shake It Off." It makes we want to dance! I just bought it on iTunes.
What's your favorite dance move?
Via Hulu Plus, I just finished the MasterChef Junior series. I love MasterChef, the adult version, but the kid's version was so different and cool. The judges are intense in the adult show, so I enjoy watching their softer sides with the kids. Other than that, it was refreshing how the children cheered each other on, as well as comforted each other. I thought, it was interesting that the children's dishes were as complex and out-of-the box as the adult's dishes. I also learned how to poach an egg from watching the show. :)
I was excited to finally see the movie, Last Vegas. It was funnier than I thought it would be. It had a lot of one-liners; I laughed the whole time. It also had a great cast: Robert De Niro, Morgan, Freeman, Michael Douglas, and Kevin Kline. It featured 4 childhood friends who reunite for one of the guy's bachelor parties. Not shocking, they head to Las Vegas. They happen into all kinds of trouble along the way. It was kind of disappointing that the funniest parts of the movie I'd already seen in previews. What do you think? Are you going to see it?
