Have y’all heard of the Chromecast?  The thumb-sized media streaming device that plugs into the HDMI port on your TV?  Ummm, it’s kind of fabulous.  The hubs and I go back and forth on going cable free.  It’s a really tough decision to ‘break-up’ with you cable provider. However, if we ever decide to say goodbye to cable (gulp) — this tiny piece of technology would provide a fantastic alternative.

Everything you love on your tv via Chromecast with livelaughrowe.com
whats to love about the chromecast

It’s EASY!  Simply plug in and play.
It’s REMOTE FREE.  Works with devices you already own! Androids, iPhones, iPads, etc.
It’s COMPACT.  Pack it in your suitcase while away on vacation!

*Please note that subscriptions may be required to use the chromecast with certain content providers.

We jumped right on the binge-watching bandwagon by watching a couple of shows using our new chromecast.  What is binge-watching?  “Binge-watching, also called binge-viewing, is the practice of watching television for longer time spans than usual, usually of a single television show.” (via Wikipedia)

Binge Watching with ChromecastWere those shows you were expecting to see?  {hee-hee}  Watching Breaking Bad was like watching my dad become a meth cook! Seriously.  HA. We loved that show!!!  Steve and I spent whole weekends in front of the television watching one episode after another.

Then there’s Sons of Anarchy.  I had no idea what to expect, but thought it was worth a shot.  Enter TV binge fest #2.  Now every time I hear a motor cycle, my heart goest pitter patter.  All kinds of crazy, but I love every minute of it!

Both shows and all seasons (to date) are available on Netflix.  I highly recommend them both; however, please don’t get preachy if you find them offensive.  It’s a matter of personal preferences, friends!

The possibilities are endless!  Thousand of TV shows, movies, etc!  See everything you can enjoy with your own chromecast.  Pick yours up today at your local Staples store — or online!

  21. Thanks for the update on Chromecast, I’ve been teetering back and forth on this as I’d love to take it on vacation but don’t know if Netflix will allow streaming outside of the US. My fav show is Revenge!!!

  22. We have a Roku and have binge watched too!! Started with Mad Men moved on to Weeds, then Breaking Bad (may have to watch again was soooooo awesome!) and currently on House of Cards. Sons of Anarchy is next on our list!! Would love to have Chromecast for the main TV and relegate Roku to the bedroom. Thanks so much for the chance!

  24. Being that we own a hog – we love watching Sons- incredible writers for that show.

    I will definitely be buying this nifty little thing come football season – so tired of DTV telling me what games I get to watch. Now I can stream it from my phone. Then all I have to do is wait for Google to bring their internet service to our area & I will no longer be tied to these companies that have been strong-arming me for years. 🙂

    Hope you are having a fantastic weekend my dear friend. See you soon (squeal)

  25. At the moment I’d have to say Parenthood, but the BBC series Sherlock is right up there and if there were more than 3 a year it would be #1.

  30. I have several favorites at the present time; Killer Women, Longmire, NCIS, NCIS Los Angles, Revolution, Chicago PD, Chicago Fire, Nashville, Blue Bloods, and Blacklist. I guess just too many to name.

  32. I’ve been interested in Chromecast! So it seems like it’s basically a mini-system, like you can stream Netflix on Xbox or Wii, but those cost a ton of money of course, so instead get a Chromecast which is cheap and gives you access to all the same viewing apps?
