Redundant post is redundant.

Speaking of random inclusions, why is The X-Files shown on BBC America? Not that I'm complaining about having a place to watch it, but...BBC America?

[Rocky]

Flight of the Conchords!!!

Not that I'm in Britain though

Is the guy on The Cape who hires Faraday's wife the same actor who tried to get Ron Donald to do porn on Party Down?

[MalaCloudy Black]

According to IMDB, yes.

oh man oh man oh man an entire episode of Greek based around Beaver. I love it!

So, I've had some free time and have finally got round to watching "Greek" from the start. 10-episodes (Chapter 1) in now.

It's pretty good. Cappy is awesome. Rusty's lass was proper fucking fit despite having no tits. Going on the teen-drama principle, expecting Rebecca to become proper BFF's with the other lasses soon, as it's impossible for people to hate each other in teen dramas for more than about 12-episodes.

They're never really friends. They kind of get on from time to time in an 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' way, but even in the last season Rebecca is still a little bitch to Casey.

Law & Order Criminal Intent any good, or a bag of shite?

I need a good show that will keep me entertained. I miss the Sopranos and the Wire. =[

[Josh]

I've caught a few episodes. Decent watch, but not something I follow. The L&O shows in general just get samey and depressing after a while if I watch too many.

[ONO]

I'm not really into those shows. Just want to watch something that would keep me entertained for a few seasons at least. I hate shows that only last 1-3 series.

[Trench]

You should watch Supernatural, Ono. That is by far my favorite show since like day one and it is on the sixth season? (maybe seventh) If you are into those kind of shows anyways.

[YI]

Fucking brilliant.

Really enjoying "Greek". It's quite funny, a lot of these programs with these types of characters, tends to make the lasses seem 'awesome', and the guys end up coming across like total buff date rapists, but it's the opposite here. Out of the 'main characters', all the girls besides Ashley annoy the living shit out of me, whereas all the guys are awesome, even when Evan is in full on arsehole mode.

One and a half minutes in on this week's The Cape and I'm already in hysterics. God, this show.

I never even thought of that. I watched the first two series when it was on TV. Thanks.

[Rocky]

Just started watching Chase. Meh... Nothing really drawing you in yet. Only about 4-5 eps in, will play it out see what develops.

Anyone able to tell me whether or not it's really worth sticking to?

[ONO]

Looks like Big Brother is going to channel 5.

[Josh]

Would anyone be interested if I did one of those "EWB's Top Whatever of Whatever" Threads for MST3K?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Yessssss.

[Herr Matzat]

I just watched the first cupple of Episodes of "The Cape". It´s so bad it´s good. It´s Adam West Batman with a budget at some points. The rest of the time it´s just bad bad, but i was lauging so hard at times.

Series 5 of Skins started last week (ep 2 tonight, E4) with a new cast, and it was a great opener. Dakota Richards (Golden Compass) plays Franky, quite possibly the most interesting character in the shows history.

Series 4 was largely poor, I thought, and ended with too many questions rather than answers, which wouldn't be too bad if Series 2 didn't finish that way as well, with the original cast. Here's hoping the two Series' with this cast are good.
