BBC America. I've seen portions of several shows, but never have been able to catch the whole thing. The other night they had a marathon or something, and I got to watch most of one. It was funny as hell, and I can't wait to watch it again. The main guy (dunno his name) has killer killer timing and priceless facial expressions.
I refuse to watch the American version, just because remakes always suck, American or not. |
I went this route...

You should all be reading books.
That said: Scrubs, Daily Show, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama...oh, hell...pretty much everything on Adult Swim. Too many cartoons for a grown woman? ;) |
Oh my. How could I forget Adult Swim? Sealab 2021 is the funniest cartoon ever made. The first episode I saw was the one where Stormy and Quinn kept getting blown back in time by an explosion and their copies play dodgeball in the brig. I was loaded at the time, and thought I was watching an actual 70s cartoon. The surreality of this experience cannot be overstated. And the episode where Capt. Murphy is trapped under the soda machine? I can't remember ever laughing so hard in my life. Harry Goz did Murphy's voice, and he died in 2003. RIP.
Damn. now I'm all sad. gotta put a murphy quote in my sig file. edit: just found out through google that harry goz was best known as the apple on the old fruit of the loom commercials. hm. |

If Showtime has a good show, you can be assured they'll cancel it.

I work nights, so I don't see as much television as I once did ...
But I love Law & Order Law & Order: SVU Law & Order: Criminal Intent (Haven't really seen Trial by Jury, but the two episodes I've seen weren't that outstanding.) CSI (can't stand Miami, and NY was on opposity L&O, so I had to choose) ER (I've watched it from the beginning. Still like it, but not as much since Dr. Green died.) MI-5 Rescue Me (best firefighter TV show ever, yes, even better than Emergency! which is also an old favorite). I've gotten hooked into buying some TV series on DVD, to relive the experience ... Star Trek (whole deal, all 3 seasons) Twin Peaks Season 1 Oz Seasons 1 - 4 Wiseguy (I have Steelgrave, Proffit, and the Rag Trade. The DC set is around here somewhere ... looking forward to the "Mr Sardonicus" batch) Kung Fu The Prisoner (really does need to be watched contiguously, in as few sittings as possible) UFO Space: 1999 (I have this on VHS, not DVD) Beauty and The Beast (not disney ... you know, "Vincent, I love you even though you are not of my species. Read me some poetry again while we don't touch, okay?") My only other regular TV viewing is a little unusual. He amuses me. Damn. I spend a lot more time watching TV than I thought. |

I liked Fast Eddie before they yanked it. |
I wish I had BBC America - I love Bargain Hunt!
To me, L&O Trial by Jury is good because it is very lawyerly... Since I don't know my rules of evidence, I find it very helpful. I also totally dig SeaLab 2021 - hilarious - and Mission Hill. |
The Kumars at No. 42 has a lot of potential ... but since I don't get BBCAmerica on the upstairs TV (basic, not digital cable), I probably won't really get the chance unless I happen to catch it on the downstairs ...

I'm so behind on watching TV. I'm lucky I get to watch anything between my kids watching episodes of Sponge Bob (which I secretly like, btw).
But, I used to watch Ali G a lot - that guy cracks me up - especially the interview segments. The Christmas episode had me in tears I was laughing so hard. And I enjoyed HBO's recent documentary on the Rise and Fall of Air America. |
wolf -- your link was broke. but it looks like tv preaching. which i also like, if it has the ppl in wheelchairs at the end. Benny Hinn is mesmerizing. I think it's the middle Eastern accent and the all white suit.
My weird show is The Big Joe Polka Show, on RFD-TV. You gotta love satellite. If you turn Big Joe on and listen to 2 songs with the smattering of old people dancing, you'll be hooked. |
