Snail Up! Turbo FAST Giveaway

May 2, 2014 By Lena

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

There are two distinct eras in my home: Before Netflix (BNfx) and After Netflix (ANfx).

And similar to fire, the telephone and sliced bread, I often wonder how I ever lived without it. Seriously! Netflix is an entertainment mecca. With one billion hours of TV shows and movies per month, including original series – for one low monthly price – Netflix members can watch as much as they want, anytime, anywhere, on nearly any Internet-connected screen. PLUS, members can play, pause and resume watching, without commercials or commitments.

Well, since the introduction of Netflix in our home, I’ve seen my husband less. And I get it! There are so many movies and only so many hours in the day. Problem is, he recently discovered that seasons 1-8 of 24 is on Netflix, and as season 9 is set to air this summer, you could say he’s been on a Netflix-watching marathon.

Says the husband: “Netflix changed my life.”

Dramatic, isn’t he? But it’s okay, because frankly, as a mom, it changed my life too. The ability to access children’s shows and movies – at the touch of a button – is priceless! (And at only $7.99 per month for a Netflix subscription, even with a price, it’s pretty awesome.) The boys love the new world of entertainment they have access too, and I’ve never had a better weapon against boredom. Recently, they’ve become fans of Turbo FAST:

“The first-ever Netflix original series for kids, DreamWorks’ Turbo FAST is a high-octane ensemble comedy that amps everything up to the extreme as Turbo and his adrenaline-fueled crew go on daring new adventures, race on the coolest tracks, and take on the craziest challengers. No matter how wild things get, these snails always have each other’s backs.”

Turbo FASTThe all new television show digs deeper into the crazy personalities of the snail crew and features 2D design to create a stylized look reflective of the Stunt Team’s fast-paced, souped-up world. Reid Scott from Veep lends his voice to show’s title character, and comedian Ken Jeong reprises his role from the feature film as the fan-favorite manicurist turned home shopping icon Kim Ly.

Is your curiosity peaked? Want to try out Netflix – and have the chance to enjoy Turbo FAST – for yourself? One lucky reader will win a FREE six-month subscription to Netflix, along with a Turbo FAST party kit! To enter, simply fill the form below with your qualifying entries.

    I’ve got 4 kids 5 &under. We went to basic cable (no treehouse or disney jr) and the kids don’t even miss it because they’ve got netflix. Our tv viewing time gets relaxed when we have a new baby (sometimes mama needs a nap!), but we are ready to cut it back again and get outside! Now I’ve got to pay attention to the 9 seconds between shows and jump in the shut it off!

  95. Nancy T

    May 14, 2014 at 2:51 pm

    Hubby loves comedy, sitcoms & sports – lots of sports (especially hockey)…I love too many shows to counts & movies too! I PVR most of the shows I want to watch and watch when I have time which isn’t very often – I end out filling my PVR. Netflix for some of the shows would be perfect.
