Okay TV Lift Owners, the numbers are in following last week’s onslaught of season premieres. Variety reports that CBS and Fox are on top, thanks to new shows like ‘The X Factor’ and perennial favorites such as ‘The Big Bang Theory’. For the first time, Fox won out with the adult 18-49 demographic.  The network received big gains with comedy “The New Girl” while “Glee” countered with a disappointing showing, dropping out of the top ten.

The bottom two networks were ABC and NBC, third and fourth place respectively. “Modern Family” on ABC dominated mid-week. NBC faltered with its best results coming in during “The Office” on Thursday night.

Of note is the success of comedies so far this season. Variety’s article showed that 9 of the top 10 shows last week were comedies. This result does not include sports. For the record, Sunday Night Football was the number two most watched program last week.

All in all, this season of network TV is shaping up to be better and watched by more people than ever before. New shows are making a big splash. Even new stars are shaking things up (“Two and a Half Men” with Ashton Kutcher in the lead was the week’s number one show). Did any particular new show catch your attention? Leave your reviews in the comments!

Shack Owner (Anonymous) from Pawleys Island, South Carolina

We have customers from time to time who use our TV Lift Cabinets to jazz up their vacation rental properties.  One of our customers from South Carolina did just that and decided to use the Carousel White TV Lift Cabinet in their coastal vacation rental property.  The Carousel White is the perfect TV lift cabinet for coastal living.  With its “picket fence” white coloring and classic trim it is sure add cottage charm to any home.

“We have this cabinet in our vacation rental home. It fits perfectly and meets our needs for a TV in our space. This cabinet is attractive clean-looking design and I would say the quality is very good…” – Shack Owner, Pawleys Island, SC.

This homeowner was kind enough to share their before and after pictures of their home.  See below.

This week, TV watchers across the nation will be tuning in to catch the season premiere of their favorite shows on their TV lift cabinet. Following the Emmy Awards this past Sunday, the build up for the upcoming season is at full force.

‘Modern Family’ cleaned up at the Emmys, winning 5 awards. The show will premiere its third season with a one hour episode tonight at 9/8c on ABC. Or maybe you prefer the long-running fan favorite, ‘The Office’? Kicking off the first season without Steve Carrell, you can catch ‘The Office’, tomorrow, Thursday Sept 22 at 9/8c on NBC.

Reality TV also has some heavy hitters making their season debut this week. ‘Dancing with the Stars’ (ABC) started the new season on Monday night with the new and controversial cast (including Nancy Grace and Chaz Bono). ‘The Biggest Loser’ (NBC) aired last night and introduced new trainer, professional tennis star, Anna Kournikova. How will ‘The X Factor’ (FOX) fare in comparison to other singing competitions like ‘American Idol’ and ‘The Voice’? Watch Simon Cowell and his panel of judges on the series debut tonight at 8/7 c on FOX.

Will you be tuning in to any of the premieres? What are your thoughts on this season’s new shows and new casts?

Two weeks ago our Remington Fireplace TV Lift Cabinet was featured on the television show, HGTV’D.  The HGTV’D show has a celebrity designer remodel a room for selected homeowners.

In the episode where our Remington Fireplace TV Lift Cabinet made its debut, The Cardenas family were the lucky homeowners selected to receive a beautiful room makeover by designer, Sandy Espinet.  Sandy Espinet is a world – renown, designer who specializes in Mexico architecture and décor.  She currently operates Square One Furniture in San Jose Del Cabo.  HGTV selected Sandy Espinet for the Cardenas who wanted a traditional Mexican inspired family room.

Sandy chose our Remington Fireplace TV Lift Cabinet for its traditional beauty and functionality.  Not only is it aesthetically pleasing to the eye, but the cabinet can also conceal a 55” TV.  To view part of the episode, check it out HERE.

TV Lift Owners, do you subscribe to Netflix?  If so, here is the latest news with Netflix.  Netflix’s decision to raise their pricing by 60 percent has lead to the cancellation of 600,000 customers.  Wall Street reported its shares dropping about 19 percent or to $39.46, to close at $169.25 last Thursday.  This stock price is 40 percent lower than what it was valued at before the company unveiled its risky pricing strategy.  The cost to shareholders is more than $6 billion and may be more.

Earlier this month Starz Entertainment decided not to renew their licensing rights to Netflix.  As many of you know, Starz provides over a 1,000 movies to Netflix’s video library.  Showtime also has pulled back on some of their movie selection with Netflix.  These changes are set to take place in March.

With these serious setbacks and high price increase, it will be interesting to see how many other subscribers cancel.  Netflix definitely needs to act quickly in order to save their customers from switching over to their competition such as Amazon and Hula Plus.

Prepare for landing!  Our Aviator TV Lift Cabinet has arrived! The Aviator is the newest arrival to our trunk collection.  This cabinet features brushed nickel over a solid Caribbean pine wood frame.  It is beautifully accented with rich leather trim and brushed nickel nail heads.  All the nail heads are hand hammered creating a truly one of a kind cabinet!
