Drama mama

Can I just say...I love online drama shows !

I've been watching online shows for some time now.   In fact, if there's anything I need to know I go directly to the computer and bring up a instructional video!

I remember bringing Keane home from the hospital and looking up "perfect latch".   It was important for me to visually see how a newborn latched on to know that I was doing it right!

Before that I used the internet to do things around the house like tiling the bathroom!   I've also used it to figure out how to change the belt in the dryer.  

It's amazing to think of  a time when we didn't have the internet.   I can honestly say that I would have spent much more money hiring service people and carpenters to do things that I can now just look up and find a DIY video!!

Now there is a culture of viewers that are finding some great viewing options right on their computer!   I have friends who have cut off their cable completely and watch all of their network and non-network shows on the computer.    The great thing is there are services that offer non-published drama, DIY, and other shows that might not have made it big yet but have renowned actors and producers.  

It's a great grassroots effort to see happening!   Now you don't have to spend millions to the networks to get good entertainment out there.  

We have talked about cutting off our cable and at this point there are just a few shows that we can't find online.   Unfortunate, for me...those are my favorite shows!    I think there will be a time when we can have it all without having to spend a fortune for good entertainment.  

Until then, I'll get the best of both worlds - my television and great internet shows!
