    I watched all episode,amazing.What do you think of it?
    The TV series was great, but I'd watch Sarah Michelle Gellar host Sesame Street!

    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
    It happened calmly, on its own,
    The way the night comes when day is done."

    Air drumming at the start was part of the Buffy experience. (probably the best part.)

    The Sopranos.
    Lots of action, but not for all.

    Do not forget about MadMen, if you like the Sopranos. Huge fan of both series.

    Thumbs up Good TV Series.

    TV series that are definitely worth a watch..
    LOST - Brilliant for the science/religious themes, mysteries etc.
    24 - Gripping action thriller type stuff but also very good scripts and story lines.
    Survivors - Absolutely exellent British series about a virus that kills 95% of the population.
    Heroes - First two seasons were fantastically done, but I haven't actually followed it since then
    The L Word Drama series surrounding the lives of LA lesbians? That will either sound extermely awesome to you or extremely dull. It's actually awesome, a really good show.

    Comedy-wise Family Guy all the way, hilarious but also a really clever in terms of the messages it conveys.
    The Big Bang Theory Just plain hilarious

    I think the way lesbians are portrayed in the L Word is definitely way off the mark. Its chief aim is to stimulate the appetites of heterosexual males and curious women (just an opinion of course!)

    Love my Way and Spirited are two good Australian Series but I doubt they are being aired overseas.

    I'm dull and love Antiques Roadshow and re-runs of the Brady Bunch!

    The Wire I enjoyed very much. It's sort of like deconstruction of the/a city, in this case Baltimore, and how all these different entities (Gangs, police, politicians, courts, school, criminals) interact and effect each other.

    Rome-Season 1: Beautifully rendered interpretation of the city ancient Rome and the rise of Caesar, mainly following from the perspective of two legionnaires. 2nd season was balls.

    Any love for Doctor Who..? That and Have I Got News For You are basically the only TV programmes I watch...
    "I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche

    Loving Hugh Fernely Whittingstall's River Cottage great fresh, local food but simply prepared - that's how it should be. It even convinced me to have breakfast once or twice this week.

    Mastermind. I beat Mrs Neely every week...just.

    I sometimes watch Dave channel for those quiz shows, QI, etc.

    That's about it at the moment. There is a new Poirot on next Wednesday, I'll probably watch that.
