So I will be in England for a couple of weeks, so while there will I have access to the UK service instead of the US one? If so can anyone tell me if they have super why or sesame Street on the UK service as otherwise I am gonna have to get hold of some episodes before I leave or my kids are gonna be upset.
Both shows are on Canada.

Been trying to find a new sci fi or fantasy series to watch, just started the first episode of Merlin
Suggestions? Recently finished doctor who and BSG - mixed feeling on battle star
Edit: only made it a couple minutes in Merlin, maybe revisit later

Merlin is bad with story of the week stuff, but when it gets to the series plot it can be good.....not great mind you, but you at least have Anthony Head as the King.

Yeah you will, both of those series are not in the UK I think.
Would you consider Supernatural as fantasy?
And also Fringe, which is very good, but is also a tad different sci fi.

I've seen my brother watch supernatural and seen tons of gif, but I just want a show with a cool story.

A cool story is very vague, but I guess you can try Fringe.
Supernatural can have a cool story though.

Fringe definitely fits the bill. A lot of the first season is more procedural but it's all building blocks for the overall story.

You steered me right on Doctor Who, so ill give it a watch!
Edit: also think I might want to check out X-Files
Correct.

You should hopefully enjoy both. Supernatural's first 5 seasons are actually really solid but it's not Sci Fi. I guess it's Fantasy but not High Fantasy? I'm not really sure. Basically a world where pretty much all the monsters from various lore exist.
Merlin is a rough one, so I don't blame you for stopping on that one. I kind of had to second screen watch the first half of the first season because it was so boring. It gets better in later seasons but is by no means a "can't miss" series.
Netflix has so many found footage films.
The best I've seen are probably:
The Bay (Has a different structure from other found footage narratives. Less on jump scares and more of a thriller I guess.)
Trollhunter (Amusing premise. Amusing humor. Very amusing.)
V/H/S V/H/S 2 (Can be hit or miss, but when it hits, it's some scary stuff.)
Okay:
Banshee Chapter (Had a few trippy scares.)
Close Encounters 1 and 2 (meh it was okay.)
Slightly bad:
Paranormal Activity 4 (The only Paranormal movie I hadn't seen. It's the same ole shit but less interesting.)
Devil's Pass (The last fourth of the film saved it from the 'bad' category.)
Haunted House (Idk, some of it made me giggle. Had one too many ghost rape jokes though.)
Bad:
Frankenstein Theory (Shares a lot of similarities with Devil's Pass, but without any scary stuff. Super fucking lame waste of time.)

Watched Dredd. Didn't really think it was anything great. The raid was much much better as a raid on apartment block movie.
Would watch a sequal if it expanded more into the world and mythos of Mega City One

Supernatural Seasons 1-5 are a nice complete show. Everything else that came afterwards were different showrunners and it shows. The season last year and this year thus far have been a nice return to form for the show. Its definitely more fantasy/horror(?). Definitely recommend the first 5 seasons.
Ive been watching Chuck and up to season 4 and so far its not that bad. Tempted to start up some other random shows.
Also anyone know anything about Paranoia?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a kids show or movie that will hold the attention of a 2 1/2 year old girl? My little niece is gonna be here today and I cant seem to find anything to hold her interest. Not being a parent, I clearly don't know what kids like.
My little sister watches: Curious George and Pepa Pig (I don't think its up, you could YouTube it) a lot. About the same age. My sister is half a year older than your niece. Kids don't stay still for very long though. What shows have you tried?
For some weird reason, she likes horror movies too.
Unless you are a huge fan of any of the stars, I would avoid it.

Basically every animated show on Disney and Sprout. The one thing she'll sit still for is Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Unfortunately there's only the movie on Netflix.

Unfortunately Mak, Youtube is indeed your best option for MMC. Do some searches for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and you'll find some full videos there.
As for Netflix, stuff you can try would be Special Agent Oso, Super Why!, LeapFrog, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, and there's some other Mickey Mouse movies that aren't Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. In fact, I'd suggest that you make a new profile and select the option that makes it a kids account. That will change the Netflix interface to nothing but kid appropriate titles and you can just cruise through and see what what your Neice has an interest for.

Finally finished Attack on Titan. It was ok I guess. Unfortunately, I wasn't a huge fan of some of the characters. IMO a good show will get me to feel for the characters in it, but Attack on Titan didn't get me to care for them at all. I did like some of the action, and the blood/gore was nice as well. The animation and music were both nice as well.
2.5/5

I'm finishing Freaks and Geeks today. Gonna watch the final episode later. It's such a good show: probably the best depiction of high school I've ever seen, comedic/dramatic in good proportion, and excellent characters + development (I was impressed by the character development for even minor characters). I really wish there were more episodes.
Not sure what I'm going to watch next.

Just started watching, pretty good so far.
If you don't mind foreign movies/subtitles: The Good, the Bad, the Weird. It can get a little over the top, but it is one of the reasons I liked it.
Vertical Limit.
Ironclad.
The problem I had with Attack On Titan was that when the crazy twist happened (
As in, Jager could transform into a Titan
Before then the show was this crazy anime where it feels like literally anyone could die during the fight scenes...then after the twist all the tension drains away when
Jager somehow comes back
YES! I felt the same way at that point.
After the first few episodes, I really liked that fact that it felt like nobody was safe and that anyone could die. I thought that the series could be something refreshingly ruthless. After that moment I lost that feeling and became disinterested with the characters.

greek is good but not the same type of show as freaks and geeks. its more like american pie the tv series (with the gross out stuff turned down as it aired on ABC Family). undeclared is also more about the comedy. any drama is usually of the relationship variety.
both are great in their own right though. a lot less angsty. might be a good change of pace after F&G though...some of those episodes were amazing but also a real downer lol the other two shows being much more light hearted
if you want something closer to f&g maybe the wonder years?

Undeclared is pretty clearly the latter years of Freaks & Geeks with a heavy spin of "This is what Judd Apatow thinks will play better for Broadcast TV America." To an extent he was right but he sort of sacrificed the more meaningful/powerful aspects of F&G to get more of the typical comedy in.. but at the end of the day, it's still a good bit of entertainment.

Thank you Cartoon Network for not forgetting about Netflix. No clue why you are teasing us like this, but still.
Also, the Green Lantern series is great, I watched it on the Canadian Netflix. Sadly it had a short life.

Just to add that this is the 2009 remake with Dylan Walsh and not the great 1987 original with Terry O´Quinn.
