Never saw any of them. But we rented a good series from Netflix last week. A British television series called Bob and Rose. Alan Davies was Bob. Pretty good, I recommend it.

Not a Doctor Who fan?

Anyway....
I work evenings, so my telly viewing basically consists of either stuff i've recorded, own on DVD, downloaded, or or whatever kids shows my son wants to watch on PBS during the day. So at the moment it's something like this.

Only Fools & Horses
Porridge
Men Behaving Badly
Dad's Army
Friday Night With Jonathan Ross
The Gilmore Girls
Curious George
Teletubbies
Doctor Who
Jericho
Austin City Limits
America's Funniest Videos

Loving "Dead Like Me" on the Sci-Fi channel, can't wait until Dr Who and Battlestar Gallactica starts, hubs is wetting his pants in anticipation.
Also watching all the usual stuff like My Name is Earl, The Colbert Report, Nip/Tuck,(although it gets more like a soap everytime) Family Guy, The Office (no I don't think its as good as our version)

I am also fond of The Biggest Loser, because its always fun to watch people fatter than myself trying to lose weight. Trying to remember to watch Survivor and Project Runway but I usually forget.
People at work tell me to watch Rescue Me with Dennis Leary but can't be arsed as its too late for me to get into it now.

The first series was pretty good...the second series was pretty crap...the third series shouldn't have aired and begging to be canned...though I'm sure something good will be canned instead...

We've got a cardboard box with a square hole cut in it and every night we take it in turns to read excerpts from the paper, it's just like the CNN really.
