The most recent two eps were very good.
It's a little too late for me. Lost all interest in this series.
Sunday Night Football will knock the hell out of any ratings it still has.

May be the best 2 season series ever made.
The producers priced themselves out of business...plus HBO had GOT on the drawing board at the time.

Agree...especially Paxton. The guy gets pretty big bucks every time he steps on a set.

Does hard wiring Amazon TV to router help?

I know the answer has to be it does. I'm trying to find out if there is a noticeable difference. Running a Sony 4K with nothing taking up any bandwidth.
Connected via WiFi right now and not experiencing any lag but don't know if I've losing any picture quality.

My daughter bought a refurbed Air about 6 months ago; she got the Applecare with it. Has had zero problems with it and save a bunch of money to boot.

re: Has anyone dealt with Verizon on a return of a Samsung Note 7?

I would assume that the responsibility would be on Sam's Club for your daughter.
That's what Samsung and Verizon are telling her. She has contacted Sam's Customer Service Department 3 times and is being told it's a Samsung problem.
I haven't seen anything indicating that a replacement Note 7 is anywhere near being shipped out. In fact, there's speculation that Samsung may just skip the Note 7 series in the US completely because of the bad publicity the exploding batteries has caused.
quote:
If I don't want to switch, how long will it take to get a new Note 7?
Great question. The answer is that we don't know. In the US, the new batch of unaffected Note 7s will have to clear CPSC approval. That could take months. Samsung says it will focus on getting users replacement phones first. The customer care representative I spoke with said that the new phones are ready for distribution, but are awaiting CPSC approval.

My daughter got a Samsung Note 7 from Verizon but bought it at Sam's. I brought the recall to her attention last week (thanks to a post on here) and she's been getting absolutely nowhere with Samsung, Sam's or Verizon; each one kicks the can to the other players in this game.
You would think Samsung would be doing everything known to man to get these phones off the streets because a perception that Samsung is making decisions based upon economics and not safety of the public will most certainly cause damages to skyrocket when the class action suit is filed...which will most certainly happen.
Anyway, trying to find someone who has the same fact situation and how they have dealt with this.

I'm really sick of people constantly defending Loomis and his terrible decisions.
Loomis is certainly not without some blame for this mess, but he's not the architect of this unstable project...that's on Payton.
Loomis is told by Payton who he wants on the team and it's Loomis' job to sign them.
Where Loomis fails is he didn't do his job; he didn't have the confidence or experience to just say "No".

Same here.
I've bought 3 TVs in the last 2 years from Amazon (2 for my daughters and a 4K set for me). Never had a single problem...if I had, a simple phone call to get a RAN (Return Authorization Number) would have solved the problem.

My mom got my wife one last year for Christmas. She thought it was just cool to get at first. Now its a must have thing daily. But part of that is that she is a teacher and we have a 14 month old. So she feels comfort in knowing she can see any text the moment it gets sent to her
I read this and started laughing. My daughter, who is a counselor in high school, just got one last week for the same exact reason. She was missing critical calls and messages related to my grandson. The watch isn't the cure-all because of the very limited Bluetooth range but it's better than nothing.
I can see that that the watch can serve a legitimate purpose in certain circumstances.
re: Best Headphones under $100?

1MORE Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones with In-line Microphone and Remote...$99.99 from Amazon.

I've owned just about every brand and type of headphones known to man and these headphones are unbelievable. I've compared the 1More against a $500.00 pair of Westone Clear AM Pro 30 Ambient Triple-Driver headphones a friend of mine has and I actually liked the 1More better; it actually has a mid-range and the $100.00 price tag doesn't kill you.

THREE DRIVERS- these headphones have two balanced armatures and a separate dynamic driver. Together they deliver an extremely accurate listening experience with unsurpassed dynamic power and clarity from deep bass to sizzling highs.

Have not watched a single episode this season
I've tried to watch it this season and have turned it off both times. I just can't follow it anymore.
I have noticed the writers are pulling crap out of TWD (splitting everyone up into different groups is the most obvious thing) and it's just not working.
If it doesn't get better, it will die before TWD.

Is this the most incompetent front office in the history of the franchise. Whiff after Whiff and the most horrible judges of talent we have ever witnessed. Literally 90% of the draft picks are not worth a shite we got extremely lucky in 2009 ...thank God.
They certainly have had their problems but they damn sure aren't the most incompetent we've ever had. You must be pretty young or have a very weak memory.

Pascal's Manale....known for BBQ shrimp but the oyster pasta is the best I've ever eaten.
Drago's in Metairie...Lobster Empire is the best deal in the city; 1.5 lb lobster stuffed with a very decent oyster pasta (yea, I kinda like oyster pasta!) all for $28.00.
El Gato Negro (the original on Harrison)...Rack of Lamb is the best in the city and the margaritas are quite good.
Venezia on N Carrollton Ave... Double Cut Pork Chop available on Thursdays, as good as Clancy's with a much better price tag. This is one of my all time favorite places.
Little Tokyo off Causeway Blvd...largest sushi menu I've ever seen. The food is fresh and the beer is cold. If you sit at the bar, you get a free squid salad that would cost you $6 or $7 anywhere.
I chose places that you can get out of for less than $35.00 per person....with a few beers!

This was the only movie I've ever ejected from my DVD player and immediately inserted into my shredder.

You can’t just write about how bad Neil LaBute’s remake of The Wicker Man starring Nicolas Cage is. It’s not that simple. The movie is so patently terrible, from the “acting” to the “suspense” to the “political themes” that talking about it as ‘bad’ is like referring to the Holocaust as ‘a bummer.’ I’m not actually comparing this stupid movie to the Holocaust, but I’m saying that it definitely has some Holocaustian elements in it. I’m not saying Nicolas Cage is Hitler, but I’m saying that he’s definitely caused suffering to millions of people.
Hunt for the worse movie
Pretty much echos my feelings.
