I didn't catch that episode, that is awesome. Love Firefly and Castle is pretty well written too. Also, just finished watching season 4 of Breaking Bad again since I just picked it up on DVD. Best season of the show so far. Can't wait to see how it all ends in season 5. |

Re: What's Your Favorite TV Show?
You can catch all the Firefly references in Castle on youtube. I want to check it out but I refuse to watch any show that centers on cops, lawyers, or hospitals.
Firefly is my all time favorite show. Fox also canceled Dark Angel, Doll House, and Tru Calling on me. Pure evil. A cloud can change its semblance, yet retain its will With the intimacy of destruction, One knows what it is to be alive The empty sky holds no reflection, for sorrow - Eslo Rudkey |

Re: What's Your Favorite TV Show?
You're missing out! The Wire, Boston Legal and, erm, Cardiac Arrest. All excellent shows. (Had to dig into the memory banks for that last one. British comedy/drama from the late 90s(?). Still remember the line from a doctor trying to pick up a patient with a sprained ankle: "What's a dodgy joint like this doing in a nice girl like you?" but there was a lot that was less cheesy I'm sure. I guess I could've gone for House, but I got bored with it some point around Season 4, or at least as bored as it is possible to get with Hugh Laurie.)

Re: What's Your Favorite TV Show?
I might make an exception for a British show ollie.
I like the show title Cardiac Arrest. That screams funny. Also my restriction only covers current shows. I will check out older programing. I have been watching a couple comedies from the BBC, Fat Friends and Black Books. Love Black Books.

Random connections from Cardiac Arrest: it starred Helen Baxendale (who is dreamy) and she was also in This Life which was a huge show in the UK that I think was about lawyers and very well received (more drama than comedy, I think, but some of both). I somehow managed to not watch it, but I know it also launched Andrew Lincoln's career, and he went on to star in Teachers, which is excellent (for the first two seasons). Edit for more rambling: Spaced and Black Books were the cornerstone of my inculcation of Americans into British TV (I arrived in the US before them). Others (and I don't know if these have hit BBC America): The League of Gentlemen (spectacularly creepy), Cracker (cops, I guess, but Robbie Coltrane as an awesome psychologist), Brass Eye (news satire), Yes (Prime) Minister (80s political satire)...

Re: What's Your Favorite TV Show?
Great suggestions. I am interested in Spaced for sure.
Black Books and Fat Friends has been playing on one of my PBS channels. Fat Friends is a little hit and miss. I saw the first episode of Black Books last time which was great. I have the American version of Cracker on DVD. It was decent but I never did finish watching it. My friend and I used to re-enact a scene from an early episode for our short lived "Poetry Act" we put together. We would open for poetry nights/slams as the featured "poets". My friend was the feature, I was more of a Sidekick. I should check out the original Cracker.

Re: What's Your Favorite TV Show?
I should watch Cracker again too, I haven't for quite a while and we have at least the first one somewhere. I wonder how it will seem to people who are coming to it post-Harry Potter (Coltrane is Hagrid) and Doctor Who (Cracker also stars Christopher Ecclestone); it's a pretty rough, dark story.
Edit: To add to the Spaced/Black Books family: Father Ted. Different setting, similar humour. And a little older but I would argue it's a similar genre, except set in space this time, Red Dwarf (stop at season 6). Last edited by ollie; June 28th, 2012 at 07:45 PM. |

Re: What's Your Favorite TV Show?
I started watching the Season One DVDs of one of my old favorites from 1978--WKRP IN CINCINNATI. This was a superior ensemble comedy from Mary Tyler Moore Studios, that only ran 2 1/2 seasons because the network didn't realize what they had (sound familiar, Star Trek fans)? There are commentaries by the writer/director and some of the actors (Loni Anderson/"Jennifer" and Frank Bonner/ "Herb."). Its still funny!

Re: What's Your Favorite TV Show?
I've been watching Beast Wars on Netflix. It's cheesy at times, and the writing is geared towards kids a bit too much on occasion. I just got to my favorite episode today, Code of Hero. That episode is beautiful. Some great lines, great story both on its own and within the context of the series, good action. And I get a little verklempt at the end. I need to watch it a couple more times.
