Honestly, if things don't change in the near future, I'm considering dropping Netflix.  Not enough to hold my interest with their latest rate increase.

I agree...I watch more stuff on Hulu now than I do on Netflix.

It’s on the Roku channel if you have that, but only up to season 20.  And there is a Midsomer Murders channel on Pluto.

I wasn't aware of that 😞  I don't watch it a lot but I do love that show when I do watch it.

I'm still mad they took off "Everybody Loves Raymond!"  It was the only thing that helped me fall asleep.

I've never seen it!  I'm curious about some of their choices though - there are a lot of limitations to what they have available, even though I'm happy with a lot of what they do have.  I'd love to see World of Dance on there - I saw some episodes when I still bothered with Direct TV and really enjoyed them, but I couldn't justify how expensive it was in light of how few other shows I watched.

Any fans of the show Manifest here?

Did anyone binge watch "Cheer" on Netflix? IMHO it's good. I cried. How is that possible you might wonder...

I am liking it.  Did you notice DCC was mentioned in the first episode?

Yes! They mention it a couple of times I think. stark contrast - two different sports really

I don't usually click those ads either, but out of curiosity, I hunted up the site you found - seems pretty innocuous, but didn't see much that seemed that interesting either.  The sign in the picture actually had its own Reddit thread a while back though:  

it mentioned its being a repost, so I'm not sure how old the sign actually was though, or if it's legit - interesting to think about though for sure 😳

New show on Netflix next week--Cheer--small Texas town school and cheering is the focus of the show.

Just binged it — and loved it. It’s a 6-part documentary series about a championship junior college team. Very well done, and a couple times had me in tears.

[Lunacat]

Super interesting how Monica handled the situation with Lexi in “Cheer” versus how Kelli handled a similar situation with Heather.

I am watching the first episode now. I am slightly offended that she said the DCC were just dancers and what they do is harder. They are two different styles and both are hard. I think Cassie could probably settle this comparison 😂

One thing - I swear the one guy they are interviewing is the male cheer coach from the DCC Making the Team episode where they did the half time show with the male cheerleaders and the girls were in those pink polka dot outfits (the one where they did stunts with Cassie, Jackie Bob and some others). Did anyone else notice him?

There is also a primetimer forum thing of Cheer that is new.

YES! I thought the same thing but I didn’t catch the name.

Thank you for posting that link!  Those photographs are amazing...the ones in the rain are my faves 🙂  I'm always in awe of the control and flexibility that these dancers have!

Like lots of other people I've watched cheer, and I just wanted a little vent here, so don't mind me!

I looked up whether they won before finishing the program, and I found the results. They make it seem on the show (I haven't finished so maybe not the whole time) that winning best junior college is a big deal. But there are only 2 teams that ever enter, them and the one down the road. There is no denying that the cheerleaders are talented, but I don't like shows that build things up to things they're not.

This is the team (Manly Sea Birds) that Angela Rena used to cheer for before she was a DCC. They gave out Barbies at their end of year banquet. The dolls must have been made for the team like the DCC.

Yes, it's now a dance crew, similar to what the Mavs are doing in Dallas I believe. The NRL, the league in which they play in, aren't really a fan of cheerleaders so several teams don't have them anymore, only a handful.

Looking at the dolls, I don't think they are special ones, just normal dolls that were bought then someone made the outfits for them. They're really cute, but the outfits look very DIY.

Apparently the DCC Barbie sold out when it was issued back in 2007.  I always had the impression it didn't do very well and Kelli had a warehouse full of Barbies🤣

I remember when the DCC Barbie debuted at the 2007 squad picture reveal in season 2.

A few months ago, Melissa R showed off a Barbie that Kelli had given her and she said it was like a unicorn - heard of it, never saw it.  Hello, you were sitting on the field when the designer debuted it!!!

Wow, these are gorgeous! I just followed his Instagram, so I can see some of the dancers he photographed. I love to see dancers outside (of their natural environment) and I think the ones without shoes are especially brave!

Can someone who's more tech savvy than me pls find the video of the one guy doing the Thunderstruck choreo and repost it pls?

It was mentioned in passing in the "Current Squad" thread, but I thought I'd post it here just in case.  News stories state that Kobe Bryant and 4 others were killed in a helicopter crash.  One of the other 4 passengers was rumored to be his daughter, Gianna.  Prayers go out to the families of all involved.

Someone just posted that on IG - he was 41 and Gianna was 13.  So sad:(

It's incredibly sad.  Life is indeed so precious and can be gone in a heartbeat.  The crash occurred about 40 minutes North of me. 😥

It was actually 9 passengers in total.  They haven't yet released all the names until all family is notified.  So sad.

Has anyone gotten a "big" update to Windows 10 in the last 24-36 hours? I'd been noticing my PC and browser were running really slowwwwwwwww for a couple days (at least) and last night  (as I was getting ready to go to bed grrrrr) I got a "Feature Update" notification from Windows 10.  Took around 2 hrs to install and work out the "kinks".  PC and Chrome seem to be running faster now.  Anyone know anything about this?

I live in Kansas City now and have been a Chiefs fan since I was a teenager...it's been such a fun season for us!  During the rally today, the Chiefs Cheerleaders performed to Thunderstruck.  And bless their hearts...they need to pick a different song.  Also I definitely did the DCC dance like I was at a wedding.  LOL.

Yeah I think I found that list too,  Like I said, daydreaming.  Couldn't afford it if I wanted to even though the round trip flight would be $11.20 (rewards points with Southwest).  Was daydreaming about going to a game and staying @ the hotel @ The Star (ha!!!).
