I played Shaun the Sheep-Home Sheep Home. I felt bad when the sheep went off the cliff because of me but that was the game. I got better at it by solving some little puzzles of balance, weight, and gravity, getting the sheep home more often than not. It was pretty straight forward and the less I killed the sheep the more fun I had.
I also played DNA-The Double Helix. It was one of those, OMG I only have 2 seconds to match up pairs in the double helix as they fly by. It was pretty exhausting but I got better at it. At least I got all the bonus points for identifying what the DNA belonged to.

TV Ex. Step 4.
Someday providers will figure out that people want what they want 24/7 and that they want it in an all-in-one format that they can take and access anywhere. TV will definately be part of that bundle.
TV Ex. Step 3.
I recommend "House" to anyone I can. The main character is a hoot, gets the job done, and plays and listens to fun music. His friend Wilson just bought him a Hammond B3 organ and the first thing that he played was the first 3 notes of Bach's Toccata and Fuge in D minor (the spooky one) and then went into "A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum...my kind of show for sure.
TV Ex. Step 2.
I looked at HULU and Scivee.
I really like HULU. It's very easy to use, not to mention fun. Any provider with old samurai flicks is OK with me.
Scivee is very interesting with cool info on it but the learning curve (for me) is a little steep at first and the content is really specialized.

TV EX. Step 1.
Fox - Has "watch full episodes" button and then you choose from there.
NBC - Click on pics of shows/also a library of older shows.
ABC - Click on pics of latest shows and choose from list.
CBS - Click on pics of latest shows and choose from list.
PBS - Click on pics of show titles and then shuffle through layers of episode choices.
I think FOX is the easiest to use(open and accessible) but I also like how PBS is set up and how it looks.

Podcasts
I would recommend all three of the podcasts I subscribed to.
Library Loft - Author Brent Hartinger talked about his new book, "Dream Quest" which is Book 1 of the "Tales of Slumberia" series.
National Library of Medicine - I chose this because of our patrons with visual disabilities. I found a podcast on Macular Degeneration and Stroke that was very informative.
Book Talks Quick and Simple - Just as it implies, this podcast by Nancy Keane gives a quick review of new children's books. The one I listened to was less than a minute and was about Jessica Day George's book "Princess of the Midnight Ball.
