Hello
gpt
Good morning.  Do you watch the Emmy's?
human
No, not normally.  Were they good?
gpt
I don't know.  I didn't watch either.  I just always find their picks to be rather lame.
human
*frowns* Haha, I agree.  Hugh laurie is the highest paid actor ever for tv drama, earning $700,000 per episode in house
gpt
Considering the show isn't really syndicated, I found that amusing.  The Big Bang cast is making around 1M an episode, and they are syndicated everywhere.
human
*frowns* Wow, that's crazy.  Jon hamm taught drama at his old high school. one of his students was ellie kemper, erin from the office.
gpt
*eyes brighten* I never watched The Office, so I'm not sure who that is.  I do think some of the actor histories are amusing, though. 
human
The Office was a pretty good show.  After racking up a $40 late fee on a vhs copy of apollo 13, reed hastings was inspired to start netflix
gpt
And I bet he never imagined just how big Netflix would get.  137 million subscribers now?
human
Wow, that's unbelievable.  I use it.  
gpt
I do too. I'm not surprised that they claim a third of the total bandwidth in the US.  I know it uses that or more in my own home.
human
Me too. Blockbuster declined several offers to buy netflix for $50 million. netflix is now worth $2 billion.
gpt
And growing more all the time.  WIthout focusing on the dvd side of things, the streaming side is able to grow easily into international waters.
human
*body stiffens* That's true.  Netflix and youtube together make up half of peak internet traffic in north america
gpt
And it's much more profitable than the DVD rentals since they spend 20 times the amount on postage than their bandwidth requirements.
human
There are over 750 episodes of "pokemon." that's about 50 a year for 16 years straight.
gpt
And a movie coming out this year.  Have to admit, I'll probably watch it, but I guarantee it won't be mentioned in any awards shows this year.
human
There is only one episode of "the simpsons" where bart neither appears, nor is mentioned
gpt
Not even mentioning Bart surprises me since he's arguably the main character in the show.
human
Yes, he is.  Thanks for the chat.
gpt
Any time
