About the Series

If you are a Sex and the City fan, this is a great series that brings you up to speed on all of the great characters that you have come to love from the original series. While not all of the main characters are back, of the foursome, you will not see Samantha and her absence is hard to see and is felt in the series too. While this is the case you do get to meet a number of new characters too. The series gets into quite a few contemporary issues, challenges and problems that each of the characters are dealing with. After watching this I can say that I am excited to see season 2!

My Take on the Season

This was an amazing last season. The season brings you a great ending to a series but also brings to conclusion to a well written story too! As you go through the entire season you will be drawn into each episode. It is a roller coaster of emotions, but in the end the writers did a great job wrapping up the series. If you love this series you will love the end of this series!

With Blu-ray’s unsurpassed picture and sound, Superman & Lois: The Complete First Season Blu-ray release will include 1080p Full HD Video with DTS-HD Master Audio for English 5.1.

My take on the series

What I love about this series is you get to see Superman as a father and not just as a hero. You also get to know his sons and see how they have to struggle to find themselves as they learn the truth about their father. The challenge of course is you throw in a son that has to learn about powers while dealing with other issues, as well as a big bad that is trying to destroy the way of life around Superman’s family and you get a series that will keep you on the edge of your seat from episode one to episode fifteen. For me, I am really looking forward to season 2! Pick up your own copy on Amazon!

October 25, 2020 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

(Stars: Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Victor Garber, Dominic Purcell, Matt Ryan, Tala Ashe, Lisa Marie DiGiacinto, Veronika London, Jes Macallan, Amy Louise Pemberton, Mathias Retamal, Shayan Sobhian, Adam Tsekhman, Jasmine Vega, and Arthur Darvill). As we reach the conclusion of season four, a demon named Neron has possessed the body of Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), leaving John Constantine (Matt Ryan) to wrest Ray’s soul from the hands of Astra Logue (Olivia Swann), the “innocent girl” he failed to rescue from Hell years all those long years ago. Meanwhile, up in our world, Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) and her girlfriend Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan) must deal with a magical creature-fueled paranoia. Harvesting souls via an insidious Palmer Tech app, Neron is poised to “Make Earth Hell Again.”

To make matters worse, Sara’s Timeship has been turned into a Noah’s Ark for various unruly monsters and magical creatures. Oh, and Ava’s Time Bureau was taken over by an evil Fairy Godmother. To defeat Neron, the Legends realize in the end that they will have to sacrifice one of their own. But it gets way worse…

In attempting to change her future, Zari Tomaz (Tala Ashe) will accidentally change not just the past she shared with Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), but fundamentally change who the Legends are in season five. Can our team go back to who they were next season? Can a reformed arsonist turned romance novelist Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), a half-werewolf named Mona Wu (Ramona Young), and a punk rocker shapeshifter named Charlie (Maisie Richardson-Sellers) stop the literal Hell that Astra unleashes on the world in the finale? And what happens when the Legends awaken the original guardians of Time (no, not the Time Masters, sillies, that was season one!) who wish to erase everything the Legends have “screwed up for the better” over the past four seasons?

The contest is for one Blu-ray copy of Legends of Tomorrow: Season 5.
The contest ends on October 28, 2020 at 11: 59 pm.

May 5, 2020 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

The Complete Series of this blockbuster comedy follows the hilarious trajectory of best friends Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper: geniuses in the lab and challenged in the real world. Yet both somehow manage to entangle themselves in wedded bliss: Leonard with his street-smart neighbor, Penny, and Sheldon, after a long courtship, with Amy, a successful neurobiologist. Across 12 universally beloved seasons, they and their friends—fellow scientist Howard, his adorable microbiologist wife, Bernadette, and astrophysicist bachelor Raj—attempt to solve quotidian conundrums posed by academia, family crises and video games while solving world-changing problems in physics. Proving, ultimately, that what matters most in the universe is fun, friendship and a well-founded theory. Oh, and a Nobel Prize would be nice.

From Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc., in association with Warner Bros. Television, The Big Bang Theory stars Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch. Chuck Lorre, Steve Holland, Steven Molaro, Bill Prady, Dave Goetsch, Eric Kaplan and Maria Ferrari are executive producers of the series, which was created by Lorre & Prady.

The LG OLED TV is Bigger and Better Looking Than Ever

January 25, 2019 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

All of the TV’s in my house in the past have been smaller but recently I’ve been looking at moving things around and replacing an older TV with a much larger one and this 77’’ class LG OLED C8 TV that I recently saw at Best Buy just blew my mind. This TV was huge and in watching it I could tell that this TV would definitely give an amazing home theater experience, which is perfect for my family!

The color and clarity on this TV was remarkable. As I sat and watched the TV at the store I found that the larger screen truly drew me in. The TV works with all technology and makes 4K movies, TV shows and more explode on the big screen.

LG OLED C8 TV

The LG OLED TV’s advanced HDR also enhances each scene to 4K quality, and its stellar Intelligent Processor completely maximizes picture quality by producing images with vibrant, rich colors, not to mention sharpness, and depth.

Even better is that you can also get this TV in both a 55 and 65 inch screen, so no matter what size you are trying to find you have a lot of great options. Some of the models are below.

Not only does this TV have amazing color and clarity but it is also a very smart TV. LG TVs with AI ThinQ® have Google Assistant built right in, so you can control your compatible smart home devices using just your voice!

I also talked to the Best Buy employee at the store and found out that you can create a hub for smart devices in your home. I love that it works with my Amazon Alexa. (DISCLAIMER: Service limited to certain languages. Some features require 3rd party service subscription. Google Home and Amazon Alexa devices sold separately.)

You can even control your TV with voice commands to change picture settings (ex. movie mode, game mode, sports mode etc.), change the volume of tv, search for shows and movies, control compatible connect home devices with ease. This is not something that I have in my TV now, but I love the idea of having this new control! Like many other TV’s this new LG OLED TV also allows you to launch apps like Netflix, Hulu, and much more.

LG OLED C8 TV

Beyond all of this I had already mentioned there is great clarity on this TV. The LG OLED TV has 8.3 million individually lit pixels that can brighten, dim or power off completely. This achieves the perfect black and displays a level of picture detail impossible with any other television technology.

All of this helps to match the level of color vibrancy and recreates your cinematic experience as intended by filmmakers which any movie lover will completely enjoy.

The last thing I will mention is how thin this TV is. When you first see this you truly marvel at how thin it is. It has a sleek, slim form and the ultra slim design goes with any room. Because of how thin it is the LG OLED TV can be easily wall-mounted or you can place it on a stand.

LG OLED C8 TV

Other fantastic features:

Cinematic Sound at Home with Dolby Atmos®: Dolby Atmos transports you with moving audio: crickets chirping all around, a monster roaring from behind, or a plane soaring overhead.
Dolby Atmos content creates a more detailed sound experience that appears to come from everywhere for a wonderfully realistic, immersive experience that puts you inside the story. *
Premium Content choices: LG OLED TV with AI ThinQ® features comprehensive support of major high dynamic range formats including Dolby Vision™ HDR from the cinema, as well as HDR10 and HLG, both with LG’s advanced tone-mapping technology that provides scene-by-scene optimization. **
LG’s most powerful processor, ?9 (Alpha9) providing superb picture quality: Award-winning intelligent processor. LG’s most powerful processor ever provides true-to-life images with incredibly rich colors, sharpness, and depth to deliver the ultimate picture quality. Provides amazing picture quality that seems shockingly lifelike and real

SunBriteTV – Outdoor Weatherproof Televisions Are Perfect For Your Outdoor Spaces

June 4, 2018 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Lately I have been working to build out a space outdoors that I can use on a regular basis. Part of the work in looking into this is to provide a space where we can watch some television if we want to, when we want. I have been researching options for televisions that can stay outside (in covered and uncovered locations) and I came to find that the SunBriteTV Veranda series is a family of weatherproof televisions designed for full-shade applications but also have options including: Full Shade (Veranda), Partial Sun (Signature), and Full Sun (Pro).

Why is this important? Well, first indoor TVs don’t belong outside. SunBriteTV s are made-for-the-outdoors products. This means that you are safe to have these type of televisions out in the elements and also enjoy being outdoors as well.

This is an important advancement, in my opinion, because I have been talking to more and more friends that are trying to create outdoor living spaces and while they may not have initially thought about technology such as this, with the current advancements in the field all-weather TVs both enhance the outdoor lifestyle and are made to stand up to whatever is thrown at them. Also, in budgeting out this project, I have found that creating an outdoor home theater is one the most affordable room additions you can make to your home, and to be honest, the best seat in the house is in your backyard!

SunBriteTV s are engineered for permanent outdoor installation and are more durable, safer, and higher performance than using indoor TVs outdoors. Because of this there is no more choosing between enjoying great weather or watching the game and instead it’s all about bringing the conveniences folks are used to indoors outside.

Current SunBriteTV Offers|

Get a free: Outdoor Weatherproof Tilt Mount for 37″ – 80″ TV Screens & Displays – (Black) with the purchase of: SunBriteTV – Veranda Series – 55″ Class LED – Outdoor – Full Shade – 2160p – 4K Ultra HD TV
