Time to go...Undercover!

In the last 15 years Reality shows have become almost a dime a dozen.  From Survivor and The Bachelor to Celebrity Rehab there's pretty much a show for everyone's taste or lack thereof.  Recently my wife and I have been enjoying watching past seasons of The Biggest Loser on Netflix.  Tonight's Late Night Stream starts out with a show that's inspirational as well as entertaining.

All the TV show streams will be available free on their networks website, and the movies will be available from Netflix streaming. I do not endorse or advocate illegal streams or downloads.



Television Spotlight


Undercover Boss - CBS

CEO's and Presidents of large companies go undercover in their own companies to see what really happens behind the scenes.   It's a great idea in my opinion.  How often do we complain that the boss or "corporate" doesn't understand what life is like for the low man on the totem pole?  This show attempts to answer some of those concerns and questions.


Netflix Streaming Spotlight

Sticking with the idea of "going undercover" this week we're looking at Mrs. Doubtfire.  One of my favorite Robin Williams movies (after Good Morning Vietnam) this story follows a voice actor who has lost his job and is going through a divorce as he fights to see his children.  After family court decides he will only have a small amount of time with his kids Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) decides the only way to get more time with them is to become their Nanny, but of course Mom won't have that so he takes on the personage of "Mrs. Doubtfire" and the hijinks ensue.


Netflix streaming services are only $7.99 per month and you receive so much programming between Movies and TV shows it's a great bang for your buck.  (It works out to .26 cents a day)  If you don't already subscribe you can sign up HERE.

And what would an undercover week be without a good "Undercover Cop" movie!  One of my personal favorites The Fast and the Furious!  Paul Walker goes undercover in the high speed world of street racing.  It's all action all the time and the role of Dominic Toretto made Vin Diesel a household name.  With 4 sequels so far and another announced for 2013, the original is still the best in my opinion.


Netflix has many different plans available from streaming only ($7.99/month), up to 8 discs at a time + streaming (DVD $51.98/month or Blu-Ray $60.98/month).  I personally get 1 blu-ray at a time + streaming which is $17.98/month).  Keep in mind that I don't get cable or dish and due to where I live am unable to receive any local channels via antenna.  I find that one disc is plenty for my needs, but you may want more or none at all.
