Been meaning to watch the new school Dr Who... loved the original as a kid.

Caught the last Family Guy episode bit of a turn around after a ballsy move. Nice to see they listen to their fans I guess.

i like it - and i dont like it ...

i realize it's a weekly UK series - so the budget will reflect that - but there are a lot of things i dont like about it - which i'm sure are beloved trademarks by the fans.

I hate all the scenes in industrial settings - with green lighting .. and all the plastic wrap and flaps everywhere ...like people are walking through car washes all the time..

it's sophisticated in one way and cheesy in another.

The writing is getting interesting though -a lot of thought given to the psychological implications of being a lonely time lord, and the effect the adventures have on a companion ..

Will give it a day in court once I've waded thru the backlog of shows I've got. There's just not enough hours in the day!

Been watching a bunch of House episodes from the first season as well as some Doctor Who sixth season

tales from the crypt

Recently got hooked on a show called Gogglebox, which I understand will soon be adapted for several international audiences. On paper it sounds like real scraping of the barrel reality TV stuff but in practice it's one of the funniest things I've seen on television for a long time. Often find myself laughing out loud despite being on my own.

They have roughly a dozen groups who presumably auditioned beforehand. Basically the show is just footage of them watching and commenting on the TV of that week. I know, I know, stick with it. Because they get so much footage but edit it down to a 45 minute show, you just get a collection of some genuinely great remarks by real people - and you really do feel the domestic aspect of it. Think about it - when you're home with your family watching tv, someone must come out with a witty remark.

The highlight is this posh couple who's crude sexual remarks counter their upper class mannerisms spectacularly. Sorry for the shit quality.



Anyway, keep posted for your own national versions of this. Can't promise it'll work (besides The Office...what has?) but give it a go.

My father-in-law has on a marathon of Alaska: The Final Frontier. ::roll eyes:::shocked::scared to death:
