Watch 3000 Live TV Channels From Your Browser – 5 Awesome Firefox Add-Ons

Brian — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:32:18 +0000

I like my 50 inch television and admittedly get quite a bit of use out of it. What I don’t like is my Direct TV bill that is more than $130 per month. With the growth of the internet, we have other options that simply require just an internet connection. Hooking a laptop up to your TV and streaming these videos is an outstanding alternative. The five options below only require you to use the Firefox browser. Not only is watch television online free, but you get access to channels from all over the world.

Please note that the last three Add-ons are experimental or third party Add-ons. I’ve tried each one and think you’ll definitely find one that appeals to you. While watching each of the videos, simply double-click to get a full screen view. Enjoy!

Arrested Development Movie Slated for 2011

Brian — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 03:36:14 +0000

Arrested Development, one of the greatest yet most underrated television series of all-time is moving to the big screen in 2011. Arrested Development centers around a once wealthy, dysfunctional family named the Bluths. The show is a unique comedy, that incorporates a hand-held camera and is narrated, while being shot in a pseudo-documentary style.

Created by Mitchell Hurwitz and executive producer/narrator Ron Howard, this award winning series was unfortunately canceled in 2006, while in its third season. As mentioned on Wikipedia, “the series received six Emmy awards, one Golden Globe, critical acclaim, a cult following, several fan-based websites, and a spot on Time’s 100 Greatest Shows of All Time.” It’s also in my personal top five television series of all-time.

On October 4th 2009, CinemaBlend.com reported the movie script is finally in the works. Notable actors of the Bluth family include Michael Cera, Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi, David Cross, Jeffrey Tambor and Tony Hale. If you’ve never watched Arrested Development, all I can say is you’re definitely missing out. To get a feel for this crazy, yet hilarious out of whack family, check out a short video below.

Enjoy!
