I thought it had a cardiac arrest already and they finally decided not to intubate.

Maybe that was just my wish.

It is the only decent thing left on TV. And that's scraping the bottom of the barrel. Actually more like gouging it and getting what's underneath the surface.

TV is for consoles.

[BlackDove]

Yeah, I can't argue against that.

TV is -_- aside from all the special sci-fi shows, etc.

Only thing I'm really following on the major networks is Lost, which is just as crazy as ever.  Other than that, it's pretty much all Adult Swim; that episode of Fullmetal Alchemist last night was just mind-blowing.

I can't even find a good scifi show anymore. The last was Farscape, and that lost my interest too. Babylon5 was the last really good scifi show on television, as far as I'm concerned, with Farscape a trailing second.

When I say sci-fi shows, I mean Battlestar Galactica exclusively, and maybe Stargate Atlantis for other people (BSG for me only).

Testament to the 24-7 **** on TV.

TV?

Oh yes, that's that big box in the living room....

I've never found Stargate to be of value for much beyond keeping HLPer's busy. As for BSG... well. I'll leave that to others and try not to be insulting about it.

But using your twisted mind to explain how excellent things actually suck is what you do best!

[mikhael]

Perhaps, but excellence is a matter of opinion.

You know, the biggest decision I have had to make, television wise, this year was Ep8 of Teachers, or the season opener for ER.

And for the rest of the year, its the choice between ER and a video game. *heh*

Presumably not the same Teachers that used to show on Channel 4, I guess.

Incidentally, am I the only person who thinks Lost is overrated tripe?  I watched - and enjoyed - the first few episodes, but more and more it strikes me as overdrawn, one trick pony TV.

[mikhael]

yeah, I think its the same. Its a BBC series, Aldo. The cop and the catty teacher are hot hot hot.

[aldo_14]

Can't be the same.... Teachers was definately C4 and didn't have 8 series; http://www.channel4.com/entertainment/tv/showcards/T/

[q]Kurt McKenna: [Brian and Kurt attempt to dissuade Simon from going travelling in South America:] Brian, word association: Paris?
Brian Steadman: Croissants.
Kurt McKenna: Spain?
Brian Steadman: Bulls.
Kurt McKenna: South America?
Brian Steadman: Hostage situation. [/q]

I didn't watch it all that much for some reason, but it was pretty good IIRC.

[karajorma]

He said episode 8 not series 8.

And it's easy for Yanks to think that we only have the BBC producing drama you know. That's all they ever see from this side of the pond.

[Fearless Leader]

I like that one show, I think its called Keeping Up Apperences?

[karajorma]

I know you yanks get Father Ted on PBS sometimes too. If you get the chance give that a try. It's a bit surreal but very funny.

[Fearless Leader]

We creatures of the night like to watch our TV comfortable...

Which reminds me, if you ever visit DON'T bring garlic with you. I'm alergic.

My Teachers is your Teachers Season 1. Simon, the irresponsible, sexually obsessed, teacher-by-accident dates the cop, lusts for the other english teacher who's an absolute b, and ends up telling a girl to dump her boyfriend because he won't sleep with her.

I love it. Its trashy, its irreverent, everyone has a foul mouth, and the situations that Simon gets himself into just leave me laughing my ass off. I'm happy to know its got three more seasons out there. Maybe I'll be able to get them easily once I get to Oz.

Here's the BBC America page for the show.
