    Definitely Being Human - but not the Euro version our US version. To me it feels much more polished and emotional. The music selection is always spot on, and I've shed more than one tear watching these three tortured souls try to make it in their respective worlds.

    Really great show and Syfy did a wonderful job.

    I forgot about Breaking Bad. Its great. Comes back to TV this Sunday night. Although I'm not sure it should. End of last season would have been a perfect ending to the series, I fear they might screw this up. (Like Heroes going past 1 season...)

    Makes me wish I group up in the 80's instead of the nineties.

    I know what you mean, SNGX1275. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This is the final season, I've heard. The writers have been doing a great job so far. I like that they've been true to the characters and haven't gone out of their way to please anyone but themselves. Just brave, crazy, violent and irreverent storytelling. :D

    I'm guessing the two friends (if you can call them that) will turn on each other, finally. Sorry if that turns out to be a spoiler.

    Great show...but for a fitting end, Walter White needs to die. Lets face it, the shows whole premise is based on the fact that he was supposed to be dying. If the show continues to follow the classic tragedy format (Doomed from the start, main character possesses a tragic flaw- usually hubris- that causes his downfall, and the eventual downfall caused is by his own actions and not fate) Walter need to fall by his own undoing

    /hopefully he kills his (ex-) wife in episode one. Definition of a character that has outlived her usefulness.

    Favourite show.....probably a deadheat between Fawlty Towers, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (+ the spin-off, Man to Man with Dean Lerner), and Monty Python's Flying Circus. The Wire would probably feature, but it hasn't aged that well.

    The end of Season 6 of Dexter has had me saying "Oh my God" for over a week now (took me a while to get caught up).

    A man of good taste.

    For me it would probably be Star Trek: The Next Generation, followed by The Original Series. Top Gear (UK) is also up there.

    Comedy: There's the old stuff: Monty Python, Only Fools and Horses, Red Dwarf, Steptoe and Son, most things with Ronnie Barker in them...and the new stuff would be Family Guy mostly.

    The Mad Movies. Done by a group called The L.A. Connection where they put their own words to modified old classic movies, it was so hilarious I would roll on the floor laughing and milk would come out of my nose. But you have to see them to appreciate the comedy, and the group is having difficulty getting them released to dvd. They used to be shown real late at night on a show called "Night Flight" that mostly played music videos but would sometimes show other stuff as well. I have crappy VHS recorded versions of a Sherlock Holmes hunting book pirates and a Ronald Reagan one done from the movie "Santa Fe Trail" but there must have been dozens of them made.
