Shows you watch

Curse you Amazon! First two series of 30 Rock are currently available for £12.97. The reviews are too good to pass that up but now I'm even further behind in watching all the stuff I've bought

I don't really like 30 rock, it has some laughs, but mostly just.. meh

Old thread! But I'm watching The West Wing (and reading the screenplays) for the fifth or sixth time, and it still fascinates me how spot-on Aaron Sorkin was back in '99 when he started writing the show.

"It's not just about abortion, it's about the next 20 years. Twenties and Thirties it was the role of government, Fifties and Sixties it was civil rights. The next two decades it's gonna be privacy. I'm talking about the Internet. I'm talking about cell phones. I'm talking about health records and who's gay and who's not. And moreover, in a country born on the right to be free, what could be more fundamental than that?"

If anyone hasn't watched it yet - do it. There are weak seasons, but overall this is still one of the best (if not the best) TV shows ever made.

You remember I said it's regularly around £35 over here?

In other news, is Suits any good? Starting on Dave this month.

Currently my best show on tv is Sherlock, started on sunday and was as fantastic as the first series, shame there are only 3 episodes to a series.

Damn you Jo, you've made me want to go back and watch west wing again which will obvious lead me on to watching studio 60 (again!)

I wasn't surprised, that show looked awesome from the moment I laid eyes on it   I encourage you to catch up with the second season, it's in its mid-season break until February (why must all shows have mid-season breaks these days?), but the first 7-8 episodes are as good if not better than the first season.

I have a vague memory that some people liked the Dirk Gently adaptation the BBC made a few years ago, so I thought I'd remind them that BBC 4 are starting a 3 part series of new Dirk Gently stories tonight (Monday 5th March).

I'm fairly sure they are not based on any of the books Adams wrote.

First season was very good. The first four or five episodes of the second season are a real effort to watch though, it gets very bogged down in the character 'soap opera' and the zombie thing ends up a stick-on. In fact a couple of the episodes I'm not sure I even remember seeing a zombie at all.

It does pick up the pace though and the hiatus break leaves you with a massive, "Ooooooooh shiiiiiiiit!" moment (Which by that point you may or may not have worked out already but it's still a slap in the face)

Good show, I like zombie apocalypse it's the way forward.
