The TV thread..what, when, why, and other stuff

I have the pilot to watch and look forward to it. And I've spotted Jayma Mays, I believe, in a clip or two, so that's a plus.

Plus musicals can be good, Rocky Horror, Once More With Feeling, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.

I couldn't watch Glee. I love brunettes... and the brunette was annoying.

Oh, and I have to pimp this. I am actually quite surprised at how gruesome and good this program is. But Being Human is a triumph for the BBC.

It's surprisingly layered, has decent dialogue, decent performances, excellent special effects and is worthy of your time. And has given me the best acronym I have ever heard.
IWEJIHF.

I wouldn't even jizz in her face. I am waiting for the appropriate time to use that little nugget. Probably this coming friday. In the pub.

I watched about 5 minutes of the first episode, the ghost was annoying so never went back to it.

I tried Being Human and gave up half way through the first episode I watched, it just felt it was too poor for even for BBC Four Maybe I should give it another go...

I don't know anything about Glee except that its killing Journey and subsequently encouraging my brain to liquify and escape via my ears, nostrils and eye sockets.

It's a tough crowd. Okay. Let's take a step back. This is a show that was on Fiver some time ago. It is absolutely awesome and did not deserve to be cancelled after the second season. For those that have access to the means to enjoy this show, get it. By hook or by crook.

The best way to describe it is as an expose of how a magazine like Heat operates. With completely cynical reporters, managing editors and agents. Full of drugs, sex and rock and roll. And also full of excellent dialogue, excellent characters, in short, an excellent show. I cannot praise it highly enough.

Always wanted to check that out just to see Courtney Cox again. I believe she is in Cougar Town too.

Talking of Friends stars in shows that shouldn't have been cancelled, I would recommend:



The show is about a comedy sketch show like SNL, it's not seeing the show, but the lives behind the scenes and making the show. It's alot better than I describe it. I loved this show. Never once thought this was just Matthew Perry as Chandler Bing on a different show. Good to see him as a different character.

Thanks for pimping that, Rook. I was never quite sure about that. But if it gets your stamp of approval, I shall try it out.
