Last year, I could right click on it and play it in Real. It's not letting me do that this year. I don't like that at all.

Me too choppy. This is the first BB that I've had high speed connection (well, DSL).

(whew) I'm glad to see I"m not the only one with a choppy feed. I had to leave because it was too annoying. Too bad, too, this was the first year I'm able to watch Housecalls. BOOOO!!!

Watching Housecalls... not only Gretchen does not have the feeds, she doesn't have Showtime either. She's useless, completely.

Unbelievable. What is CBS thinking? Maybe we should ask Eric to make Gretchen get the feeds. She hasn't a clue what's going on.

I don't understand why they would even pay Gretchen if she has no interest in the feeds.

Why not get someone who does?

House Calls is about the show, not the feeds. I wish that weren't the case, but that's how it is.

Thanks, Bonza--My mistake. It should be about both--feeds and show, with rabid show hosts like some of us viewers. :-)

That's why I liked Marcellus on there because he watched the feeds.

Smokey - I agree totally. Hopefully Gretchen will have guests that do watch the feeds and they will discuss them without spoiling events, or whatever it is they are worried about.

since house calls is on the internet, it only makes sense that the people who watch it would be interested in the internet ...and hence the feeds...

Bon - that is so rational.

And I agree with you, too. It was sometime during last season and they were never discussing all the hot topics - suddenly it hit me - for some insane reason, CBS is tailoring an Internet show toward the show-only viewers. Go figure.

House Calls is on Mon-Fri right? So since the show is only on Thurs, Sun & Tues wouldn't that mean they would need something to discuss on those other days, ya know things like um....the live feeds or Showtime?!!!!

Bearlee - hahahaha, stop being rational. In between, they just have on peeps like the set decorator and casting director.

Historically, the only truly fun day to watch was Friday, the tv show had caught up to real time house events and there wasn't anything left to spoil for anyone. Friday's show always had more of a free-for-all feel. (not counting today since it was the first show)

Are any other Mac people having trouble watching Innertube? CBS has had a year to deal with this issue--I'd be peeved if it didn't fix it by now.

Bastable - I'm Mac. Can watch HC just fine via Naja's Innertube link above.

Thank you, Bonzacat-- it must be a temporary server thing, then. Good to know! You're the best!

Is it just me or was House Calls a complete snooze fest without Marcellas. Seems like a cure for insomnia to me. I watched the first 8 minutes and tuned out. I can't believe she doesn't watch the feeds!

Gretchen may actually have the feeds.
2 years ago, she and Marcellas would talk about the feeds, and they had Arnold in and people called and asked him why the Friendship was being edited so that all their vile behavior wasn't shown on tv.
Soon after that, Gretchen and Marcellas announced that they would ONLY be discussing the aired shows so as not to spoil for people without feeds.
So, she may actually be watching the feeds, but can't talk about what's going on. Or she doesn't have them since they won't let her discuss them anyway.
So, I wouldn't blame Gretchen for House Calls, this is another fabulous idea from TPTB.
