While not hooked, Ron introduced me to "Iconoclasts" on the Sundance Channel.  I found the Robert Redford/Paul Newman episode especially enjoyable.

I just got hooked on Dexter.  I recently ordered Showtime just so I could catch up (plus I dig the movies on demand).I want to check out Life on Mars, but haven't been able to track it down On Demand.  It sounds like a show I could get hooked on.

Guess its time spring for Showtime. My cable bill is only $165/ mth

I was ahead of the curve on Life On mars since I d/l it right after it airs overseas. But glad Ron loved it as much as I did. Can't wait for series 2.

Also love Ron dropping those Tracy Morgan lines from 30Rock. I'm a stabbing robot!

My cable bill is only $165/ mthLuckily I have an "in" at the cable company, so they keep activating the promotional deals for me.  As soon as one ends, they activate the next one.  If I were paying full price I would be completely boned.I haven't seen Weeds either, but I am not too hype on drug content.  Not that I'm a prude or anything, it just doesn't interestg me.  I wanted to check out Sleeper Cell, but the On Demand episodes start at 11 and I want to catch it from the begining.

I started watching Arrested Development after hearing that Ron caught them on DVD. Now I watch them every week on HD Net and for Christmas I got all 3 seasons.I've tried to watch Life on Mars, but everytime I saw it airing on BBC, it wasn't the first episode. If I watch a show, I want to start from the very beginning.Not a show, but one day Ron was praising the Coen Bros. "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"  Not long after that, it aired on IFC so I watched it. It has since become one of my all-time favorite films. Got that DVD for Christmas, too.

I watched Crossing Delancey cause of Ron quoting Peter Riegert, when he saw Amy Irving.

Ronnie got me hooked on to Life on Mars.  I liked it enough to find a Region 1 version of the DVDs over the internet.

Because of Ronnie expressing his love of the original, British,  "Office", I asked for and recieved the DVDs.  I had never seen it before but have enjoyed the American version.  But after seeing the original I'm totally turned off of the American version!!!!!  Ricky Gervais is a genius!!  Thanks, Ronnie, you are definately a "Hero".

Extras, but the reality it is Ron's movie reviews that interest me more. I actually went out on the old school show to rent Chuck & Buck...and will admit to going out last night and seeing the Good Shepherd because of Paul-O. I tend to shy away from the blockbusters so it wasn;t much of a stretch, but Paul-O's review really helped me get through it. I knew it was going to be long and Paul prepared me for its slowness. The Dog Whisperer is the shit. My 60lb mutt is eight and has always pulled when walking. Everything else is great...but the pulling was a nightmare. 15 minutes of the cesar Milan treatment and he can now walk off the leash.

I've seen every Dexter since the beginning, because Ron talked about it right before it premiered.
