I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing this. But, the tv show Dark Shadows, the old one. I was browsing my streaming queue last night on my roku box and saw that they had that little banner on Dark shadows that says New Episodes. Before this, the episodes available for streaming started at episode 210, so when I saw that I thought that they had maybe added the first 209 episodes to streaming. But, when I checked, they hadn't. I don't think they've added any episodes to what's available for streaming on that show, and yet it had the "New Episodes" banner plastered on it. Anyone else experiencing that?

I've been watching Dark Shadow dvds and streaming from episode one on Netflix (now on 403). I just checked and they have not added any new episodes to streaming even though they tagged it. I like Netflix but that's one of the things that makes me not trust them.

Does anyone know if the Blu-Ray for Margaret is the extended edition of the movie?

Warrior and Margin Call hit Saturday.

BTW, Margin Call is really good, if anyone cares.

Haystack and Ruby, they did the same thing with the A-Team. I've seen this happen on many other shows as well in the past. The system is definitely flawed either way, but I'm wondering if those shows were possibly expiring or the contract was just extended and when they put that in the system it automatically acts as though it's newly added and puts the new episodes banner on it.

Thanks for all the information you give on the site. Big fan and post it on my community blog each week.

Thanks to share a complete and descriptive list.

@Haystack - my guess is the "new episodes" tag is based on time period (if any episodes been added in the last 6 months, then display banner). As opposed to user specific (if any episodes have been added since the last time user xxxx viewed series, then display banner).
Actually, I'm giving them too much credit. They probably have a manual system. Somebody manualy updates a "new episodes" flag in the database to true, and it stays that way till someone remembers to manually set it to false.

Wasn't "Tin Man" available in the past for streaming?
Is it really a new addition to streaming, or just restored to streaming?
Posted by: Talldog | August 08, 2012 at 03:27 PM
Steve--Got it today. It's the directors cut
Posted by: Abe | August 08, 2012 at 06:06 PM
Yes this is off topic but I have to say I just discovered Netflix's new auto play feature for TV shows and I love it. Hopefully they'll bring it to the Roku and all other devices!
Posted by: Donald | August 09, 2012 at 08:17 PM
Oh and of course they need to allow us to make playlists!
Posted by: Donald | August 09, 2012 at 09:04 PM
Yes, "Tin Man" was available in the past.

if it is a systemic flaw then its unintentional, i don't think they are just negligent ..

I am having a problem with Alphas on streaming whereby the closed captions are out of sync with the video and this gets progressively worse as the episode continues.
As someone who is partially deaf, CCs help me a lot and this is an annoying issue. I can't see anywhere to report this either, as the only CC-related issue you can report for a streaming title is for a foreign film with incorrect or missing subtitles.
