I've only just started watching, but it would not surprise me if the show piqued the interest of other FDR listeners. To wit: Has anyone else watched this? It's on Netflix in Canada & the US.

Hey Fellow FDR listeners, I just wanted to get your thoughts on the great Netflix series" House of Cards (HOC)." I think this show is a force for good in getting Americans to question why they put so much faith in these bullying blowhard politicians. And, while I have issues with Trump, I think his current success in the polls is a reflection of at least some of the success of HOC in portraying career politicians as quite disgusting people. Trump is kind of shady in his own ways but I think a lot of people just think it's so refreshing to see a viable candidate that's not a lifelong politician. This show is even more effective than the old British version of this show that went by the same name and even more effective than an old British show called "Yes, Minister" which portrayed members of Parliament as bumbling buffoons and liars. Any thoughts? Do you think HOC is having any impact at all? Having a big impact? Also, many American TV shows are watched by much of the world but I'm not sure if this show in particular has had global reach. I'd love to hear from people outside the US on whether they think this show is having an impact. Christina -
My wife and I currently do not have a TV (but watch Netflix on computer/ipad) and are contemplating purchasing a TV. We have a 11 month old and are curious to see what other experiences are with the effects of TV on there children? We have agreed NOT to get cable so the only thing we would watch would be internet based. It seems to me that the commercials and marketing is one of the worst things about TV. Does limiting the time allowed to watch really work? Is it best just to remain TV-less? Would love some different perspectives and experiences.
