Default What's your favourite TV show?

In Canada, it's Canada's Worst Driver.

How the heck did these people ever pass their driving test? The examiners who passed them should be named and shamed.


In the UK it was Life On Mars. The US version isn't as good, but then maybe it's because I'm used to the original version.

Do you get Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Atlantis or Spooks? All my favourites at the mo, though when BsG is on a 'mid-season break' atm.

BSG is a "must watch" for my SF addicted wife. It is very good I'll admit.

How can it be on mid season break though...the show ended last year, its all repeats. 5 nights a week on Space



Of current shows my only "must watch TV" is House, although I do watch Boston Legal with the wife (I think its getting a bit samey) and My Name is Earl and the Office. (I'm one of a minority of one that prefers the US version to the achingly OMG how embarassing can he get Brent version..which is still good.)

Blackadder doesnt seem to be on anywhere in Canada at the moment? Enjoying the old "Yes Prime Minister" shows on "Vision"...that hasnt hardly aged a bit.

And of course the footy at the weekend.

I don't know, maybe something to do with the writer's strike? All I know is that it finished about 5 episodes in and hasn't yet come back on. Can't remember off-hand which series it is but the one where Starbuck miraculously comes back to life. (Your wife has excellent taste btw).

Don't they split the season, haven't they always done that? I live with a BSG bore and he may have muttered something about it...

They didn't split the first couple of seasons in the UK, but this must be what has happened this time. I have serious BsG withdrawal going on...

Right you all are...

Apparantly what I took for the end, was not in fact the end at all.

I adore Yes Minister/Prime Minister. The episode last night was a masterpiece.
