DoggyStyle: Our Outdoor Theatre

When E, Miss M and I moved in together, we had to be really strategic about our furniture set up. See, it used to be just E, but then he earned a girl and her dog (and later another pup). We decided to keep 2 couches and get rid of our TV's. 

Which turned out ok because we still found a way to watch movies and our favorite TV shows:

Miss M is still able to watch The Bachelorette

We bought a projector which we are able to use on the wall above the couch. We like that it's compact and it takes up less room than a traditional television and entertainment center, and we are able to project movies and basic channels. Plus, this helps us monitor our television viewing and only watch things we really want to watch, so we have more time for things like this. 

Being extra large, the pups like watching the TV too:

Bears games can be tense for Mr. B

Though the best part is that the projector is portable, and we have made it a part of our outdoor room. Having survived winters like this, it's so important for us to spend as much time as possible outdoors, so we created our own outdoor movie theatre.

 We bought an extra-long curtain rod which balances on the planks of our deck ceiling. We picked up a pair of curtains from Ikea. We had to pin the middle, and we rest the gate against it at the bottom to keep it from blowing.
We use an extension cord and have the projector balanced on the back of the couch:

It's nice that we can take our television viewing outdoors, though we are always looking for good things to watch--without cable we are a bit behind.
What are some good television series we can catch up on, or some good movies we should rent?
