Does Netflix have a new blockbuster series on its hands with its forthcoming premiere of "Marco Polo" online? We'll see it in its debut today.

Didn’t NBC do this back in the 1980s?

Wasn’t the Marco Polo story “proven” a fake in the last few years?

Netflix is doing well with the original programming. Between them and Amazon Prime, I don't need cable TV. Just a Roku box and a good internet connection.

When I cut the cable, I missed NFL football but now I go to the local bars to see the games. I highly recommend the experience as opposed to sitting at home. Most bars (even at casual restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings and Longhorn's) have plenty of flat screens to see the game and lots of microbrews on tap.

It's not like the old days where a typical bar had a flickering black and white TV in the corner with only Budweiser and Miller on tap and some old grouchy bartender guy in a T-shirt polishing a glass with a dirty cloth rag.

Does it involve swimming pools and blindfolds?

My regular TV use has been limited to F1 races, election night, and nothing else. Netflix, Amazon Prime, PBS and a few odds and ends fill my viewing time.

If you have some hours to kill listen to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History Show 43 - Wrath of the Khans I. It is a great series and I learned a lot and like Dan's style.

I cut the cable cord last July, saving $150+++ per month. I now have free local HD TV, & netflix at about 8bucks a month with plenty of choices to make when I want to watch. I’m looking forward to Marco Polo.

I’m getting a Netflix account, if only to watch new episodes of Longmire.
