Transparent is putting Amazon on the map for original programming in a bigger way than any of the company’s other shows have. And there are awards to prove it.
Jill Solloway’s series earned two Golden Globes earlier this month. One was for best television comedy or musical; Amazon knocked off Netflix’s Orange is the New Black to win that one. The other went to series lead Jeffrey Tambor, who has received universal praise for his performance in the show’s first season.
And on Saturday, Amazon will use all of that buzz to sell a whole ton of new Prime subscriptions. The company will make Transparent‘s entire first season free to stream for all customers, not just those paying yearly for Prime.
I’ve had an Amazon Prime membership for years – well worth the price. Not only do you get access to tons of movies and TV series to stream anytime you like, you get free two-day shipping on most items you order from the online mega-store. HIGHLY recommended. Click here to get the details.
Amazon will release a full 10-episode season of it’s latest original series programming, Transparent on September 26th.
Created by award-winning director Jill Soloway (Six Feet Under, United States of Tara), the half-hour dark comedy, family-centric series starring Jeffrey Tambor, Judith Light (a major favorite of mine), Gaby Hoffmann, Amy Landecker and Jay Duplass.
Quirks, neuroses and family dynamics are front and center including father figure Tambor’s embrace of his cross-dressing self. Gay, straight, lesbian, trans – it’s all in here.

According to Variety, two-time Tony Award winner Bernadette Peters is set to star in a new Amazon series “Mozart in the Jungle.”
The series is described as a dramedy based on a memoir by Blair Tindall about what happens behind the curtains at the symphony.
Amazon has recently begun to create it’s own original programming to compete with Netflix, such as the #1 streaming hit “Alpha House” to tempt more subscribers to it’s Amazon Prime service which included free streaming of tons movies and series.
In addition to developing original programming, Amazon has been actively acquiring streaming rights for many current hit TV shows like “How I Met Your Mother” and MTV’s “Teen Wolf.”
I’m an Amazon Prime subscriber myself and, as I’ve said on The Randy Report many times, I think it’s a great value. Not only the streaming content, but free two day shipping on most items you buy on Amazon.
Beginning Jan. 1, the Internet sales giant Amazon.com will begin collecting sales taxes on purchases made by Nevada residents.
It’s all because of an agreement signed by Gov. Brian Sandoval in April of 2012. According to Sandoval, the deal will bring Nevada $16 million a year in additional sales taxes.
Under the state’s tax distribution laws, most of the tax revenue will benefit local governments and schools.
Amazon has a distribution centers in Fernley and Clark County. It is because of that physical presence the state is required to collect taxes on purchases made by Nevada residents.
I use my Amazon Prime subscription all the time, and this won’t affect any purchases I make going forward. I love the ease of using Amazon, plus with my Prime subscription for $79 a year, I get free two day shipping plus access to hundreds of movies and TV shows streaming for free.
So while it’s news, I’m not going to stop using Amazon. I find the best prices there and it’s easy. That fits my lifestyle.
Just saying… 🙂

I was just ordering something through my Amazon Prime account and realized I don’t think I’ve mentioned how much I use this program on The Randy Report.
Amazon Prime is Amazon’s membership program that offers special benefits for just $79 per year. That’s $6.58 a month.
Members can:
• Instantly watch over 40,000 movies and TV episodes with titles for everyone
• Borrow books from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library
• Get unlimited FREE two-day shipping with no minimum order size
I like easy. I like fast. I can’t tell you how many times I think of something I need for the house – vitamins, music, books, just… stuff. And I hit up Amazon and get it in a day without leaving the house or stopping my work day to get these things.
I have had a membership for years. I constantly order from Amazon because it’s easy AND with the Prime membership I get free 2 day shipping. Since I’m near a shipping facility, sometimes I get my orders in the next day. And free shipping!
Plus, for folks who do the Netflix or Hulu Plus thing – many of the movies and shows you pay to watch on those services are available for free on Amazon with the Prime membership thing (Duck Dynasty, The Good Wife, Downton Abbey…) .
I wouldn’t promote some vitamin thing that doesn’t really do anything for you, but Amazon Prime I really use and feel I get value for. And you can sign up for a free 30 day membership and cancel before then if you feel you don’t use the benefits.
I use it all the time. Just saying…
Love the “twist” at the end….
Yay Amazon!
