How easy is it to switch to the Canadian Netflix for a show or 2 if the US one is set up?

I have House of Cards on my list, it's been there for a while and I still haven't started it.
 
Depends on what device you're using and what proxy you're using. However, US should have everything Canada does plus more (since there are some rights they hold stateside that they don't have here) so not sure there would be much point to switching back and forth (I suppose they may not have the CBC stuff that Netflix Canada has). The Netflix Originals, like House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and the Netflix-produced season of Arrested Development will be on both.

US Netflix is much better than ours because they are having better luck in dealing with rights holders there than they are here. However, implementing an anonymous proxy for my TV is a bit of a pain and I have enough to watch on Netflix Canada to keep my TV time occupied for a while.

I don't think it's that easy to switch back and forth.
 
I recently finished watching 24 on Netflix and am now getting caught up on the current season. I also started watching Touch - another show with Keifer Sutherland.
 
Bookmarked the above link. (y)
In case anyone else is a little slow at catching on, the 2nd half of the alphabet can be found on a different blog page which is linked on the right hand side of the page.

My wife and I have been watching all the episodes of The 70's Show. I think our kids probably got their sex education from this show.
 
United States of Tara - A mom with dissociative identity disorder. Some of the personalities are very interesting. So far my favourite has been when Chicken appears. Each episode is less than 30 min.
 
Hidden Valley -- a british netflix show is awesome, just came out.

If you liked Call the Midwife, you will also likely like The Bletchley Circle
 
I've been really enjoying Revenge. Netflix did good on guessing a show that I would really enjoy - I don't know why, but the previews didn't get me interested at all when it first premiered. I'm going to have to find where I can watch the remaining seasons. That's one of my big complaints with Netflix, they are so slow to bring out the seasons. I understand that with DVD sales they often need to be a season behind, but I feel like the delay is longer than necessary.
 
If you are in any way interested in physics or the goings-on at the LHC, watch Particle Fever. It's a 98 or so minute documentary chronicling the LHC, the physics theories that it is testing, and the physicists involved, both the theoreticians whose ideas are being tested and the experimenters who are both running the machine and looking for new evidence about the universe that could shape new theories about it. Keeps the physics fairly understandable and focuses more on the people than on the math. It covers the period from the completion of the LHC to the press conference in 2012 when the discovery of the Higgs' Boson was announced publicly, including the tense two month period after the accident that destroyed some of the accelerator's magnets in 2008.

Favorite "character": an American post-doc working at CERN on the ATLAS experiment (one of the two LHC experiments that found the Higgs' Boson) who is also a rather vivacious, athletic (she bikes to work, runs marathons, and rows) young lady. Breaks more than a few stereotypes about physicists.

Climactic moment: Dr. Peter Higgs removing his glasses to wipe his eyes as it becomes clear that, forty years after he theorized its existence, the boson that bears his name had, in fact, been found.
 
Hi unblock-us.com works for many u.s. things - Netflix, the app store (as long as you have a U.S. account), and many of the apps that are on Apple TV.
 
If you're into comic books or even just the current wave of comic-inspired movies, "Superheroes : A Never-Ending Battle" is a good watch. It's a three part PBS documentary tracing the history of superheroes from the first appearance of Superman in Action Comics #1 down to recent superhero movies like Man of Steel and The Avengers. A bit cursory in places, but hits the highlights (and lowlights, like the Congressional investigation that led to the Comics Code).

NF has picked up a load of PBS stuff the past while, including a lot of Ken Burns' documentaries. I've just starting watching his 10 part series on the history of jazz (called just "Jazz").
