(Netflix)
While cruising through Netflix’s user-submitted movie reviews, Roxie entered a wormhole that led her to this amazingly concise and to-the-point review of the hit new TV series Example 23.976, which drew universal raves for being a perfect example of 23.976 frames per second.
There were times during the season when I thought the series might deviate into 23.975 frames per second or veer off-course to 23.977 frames per second, but sure enough, it stayed true to the 23.976 frames throughout, even during the shocking season finale.
The only fault I can find with the show was its unfair cliffhanger, which left too many questions unanswered and failed to tie up some loose ends. It never explained the damn Smoke Monster either.

I’m streaming it right now. It’s kinda freaky how he waves his hand through the water.
Just wait until the Moonwalk backwards with a laptop thingy.
Wouldn’t moonwalking backwards just be walking forward?
The soliloquy at the end is priceless. 5 STARS!!!!
Oh god, wait… he’s running with his Netflix envelopes, doing cartwheels and then moonwalks while working on his laptop. This is one of the most stream-of-consciousness movies I’ve ever seen.
Bah. I liked the original series “NTSC Drop Frame Demo Reel” better. Hollywood can’t come up with anything original anymore.
I assume you mean by NTSC is “Not Tested Since Christ”
Never The Same Color
Episode 23.976 in that series was the real mind bender. Who would have thought you could even do that, let alone broadcast it? I tried it once at home and was in traction for six months.
If you search for “Example” you’ll see several of these sorts.
Ha ha, I did. That’s weird. What is that?!
Sweet now I have something to watch the next time I’m high and bored
Honestly, after some of the shit I’ve seen on Netflix, I’m beginning to suspect Netflix thinks their entire user base is high and bored haha.
I heard this got an award at Cannes?
I don’t think they had the equipment in Cannes to play it . . . they had to speed it up to 25 frames per second.
PAL humor!
SECAM, actually . . .
I was floored by the soundtrack, composed and performed by mid-80s legends Head Cleaner!
5 STARS!!!!!!
That’s not the review, it’s the description.
The customer reviews are entertaining. The flick is overrated.
This is to Netflix as Tuscan Milk is to Amazon.
No, Tuscan Milk is in a different league entirely. So rich, so sweet….
“Have you guys tried this on dry cereal? AWESOME!”
I heard James Cameron is overseeing the 3D conversion.
In the end, out of nowhere there’s this lone dancer who appears to be injured”
+1 for Seinfeld humor
Backwards laptop moonwalk FTW
The best reality TV I think I have ever seen! So moving it made want to go pee!
I preferred the book.
There’s always someone.
You kind of have to be a speed-reader to understand it, though, right?
Example Short 23.976 says it has subtitle goodness: English, English, English, English, English.
Little known fact: The entirety of Season 23.976 was filmed on location at rankingtestplacec165617859728ecf1ad01aa65e0b17eeeb7636e634a0dbf039c4c7040379f96c/105312549517852.
is someone bored again?
Still no Closed Captioning on it I see.
Nobody gets what this is for. Those example movies are test patterns for your plasma or lcd.
Would you like to double-check the definitions of sarcasm and irony and then re-read the comments?
Your “irony”s and “sarcam”s have no place on the Internet. This is a place of business.
Indeed, someone does not get it. Not who you think it is, though.
I think the hand in episode 1 season 1 has had work done…at very least he was freshly waxed.
I’m not sayin, I’m just sayin

You fail consumerist.
Riveting. It’s nice to know my 16.99 subscription is paying for wonderful series like this. What will they think of next?
All your 23.976 frames are belong to us.
Can someone post the funny part of this article her? One needs to be a member of Netflix to see reviews at the link above.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet…
I only made it through the first minute of episode one and then I had to pee. Like everyone else.
I had no idea you could do that with an apple, a football, and a tetherball all at the same time…and did anyone see that penguin? It looked like it knew…
