That show was really under-rated. Some of the seemingly off-the-cuff conversations were totally hilarious.

If you like Denis Leary (and a few of the other Rescue Me cast), watch his one season show "The Job" - about a NY detective and the squad. Freaking hilarious - until ABC (I think) ruined it by moving it all around so we could not find it.

Yup. Love it. Fiction but if you're into a bunch of Nazis finally getting what's coming to them, I suggest this;

Great story... I read it last year and couldn't put it down.

Cool - fiction though eh? How so?

Fictitious characters and plots. So much so that I'm hesitant to say "historical" fiction. Still, completely believable and fun.

Are they hunting real Nazis?
Speaking of Nazis - are you familiar with the history of Hugo Boss?

A little but his stuff is so out of my price range that I don't have to worry about not buying his stuff out of principle.... and no, they aren't hunting real Nazis but who knows... maybe some parts are base on real people and events.

He died in the 40's but he was a raging socialist / devout Nazi party member - with a nose for toilet water

Hugo Boss designed the SS uniforms - that is the nebulous of the company / brand.

I meant how can you be a socialist and a devout Nazi?

Can anyone weigh in on Canadian vs. American Netflix?

I've checked out both a little, and the Canadian one seems to have more that I want to watch.  The US one doesn't have Captain America, Iron Man 2, Thor, or Kenny vs. Spenny, for example.  But everyone using the Canadian one seems pissed we don't have access to the American one.

The only reliable proxies I can find aren't free.  Is it worth an extra $5 a month for a US proxy to have access to their Netflix?

It's absolutely worth it as far as I'm concerned. Just the better stand-up/documentary libraries alone make it worth it as I'm concerned.

And for what it's worth I can get Thor, Iron Man 2 and one season of Kenny vs. Spenny. No Captain America though.

Just started season 3 of Sons of Anarchy.  That season 2/1st episode of season 3 was intense.

The Nazi's were all about socialism.

The first episode was great, didn't miss a beat from season one.
