Let's get this party started!

Hello fellow movie and tv watchers!

If you've found this page, you're either already and Amazon prime member or you're thinking about ordering it, or maybe you want to see if this is even possible. All good reasons for coming by. And if you like what you read here, or don't like it and want to just keep up with the latest updates, please subscribe with whatever button is available to do that.

So now onto the fun stuff.   

First a little background information on me. I'm a 37 year old married father of two kids. A 5 year old girl and 2 year old boy. I work a 9-5 desk job in the software industry. Nothing flashy but it pays the bills.  Back in the day, I aspired to be a professional musician, but life came calling and I could only handle so many years of living on the road.

When I'm not working most of my free time is spent with the family and we enjoy watching a good (or bad) movie or kids show.  And that's where Amazon Prime comes in.  My wife was already a member for the 2 day shipping and then they started up their movie and TV programming to compete with Netflix.  For some reason we have that as well but this blog will just feature the Amazon Prime offers. 

Throughout this blog, I'll cover all genres of programs from kids to adults to animals and vegetables.  I think it's best to start of with a show that the entire family can enjoy.......

CURIOUS GEORGE!
 
 
 
 
When I was a kid many moons ago, I loved the curious George books and now I get to experience them all over again in TV form!  Not that books aren't great and I know the American Pediatric blah blah blah says to limit the amount of screen time or so they call it now because everyone's got their iPhones, iPads, blackberries, strawberries, or a Windows phone like myself.  Not sure why I always need to be different with technology.  My friends had Super Nintendo and I had a Turbo Grafix 16.  They all had PlayStation 2 and I had a GameCube.  And so on and so on. 

Sorry for that tangent...back to George.  I've always monkeys so maybe I'm partial to this one but I find the stories, writing, acting and animation to be very enjoyable for adults as well as the kids.  As many times as I watch these episodes over and over again, I'm always up for more and so are the kids. 

One of my favorite episodes is Up a Tree from Season 2 Episode 3.  Here's a little clip I found over on the youtubes:




I wonder if we could teach a monkey to build a treehouse or a real house.  Then we could have an army of carpenter monkeys building homes for the homeless.  But I wouldn't want to put any people carpenters out of business.  How about helping carpenter monkeys so the jobs get done faster?! 

Looks like one chimp figured it out almost 100 years ago!

I guess that's enough for the first edition of Can I Watch Everything on Amazon Prime?!  Please comment with suggestions on what to watch or what you'd like me to watch and review to see if it's any good. 

Thanks for reading and keep watching!
