Not on Netflix, but y'all ought to check out "Aerial America" on Smithsonian Channel. It is my new favorite show, HD views from a chopper of all 50 states. They have Michigan and Florida episodes streaming on Youtube right now, and clips from other episodes on their website.

I caught Hawaii and Oregon on cable last week, and am totally hooked.

TEO, i have recently been sucked in and hooked on a new show streaming on Netflix called Once Upon A Time. All ready 8 episodes deep, and cant get enuf.

The premise is that the evil queen from Snow White puts a curse on all the fairy tale characters that force them into the "real" world as real people with no memory o their past life, and Snow White's daughter and grandson have to find a way to break the curse. Written by the guys Who wrOte Lost and Tron: Legacy. Its really good.

Downton Abby is a rich series. Season 1 is on Netflix. I think 2 and
maybe 3 is on Amazon. Season 3 is also somewhere online for free
streaming. I think a PBS site?

NetFlix: Cash Back, Wilfred, In the Land of Blood & Honey, Red State, Special, MadMen.

The documentary Azorian was really interesting if you like submarines and/or government intrigue.
