Well thank you. I have been reading the boards for a few months now and decided it was time to get my feet wet, so to speak.

Hello and welcome!
Which part of Jersey are you in then? I'm in NJ too (just off I-78 in Millburn-Short Hills ie. 15 mins west of Newark airport.
Our Comcast was ok.....but it did go down for about one hour only...the cable guy had been out the day before as our signal was so weak and he's put a booster box thing in the basement....so much better now.

Anyone else watching? Or am I the only saddy on this board tonight? Actually, I think it beats anything else on American TV for the whole year but that's not really saying very much.

On the subject of crap american tv - well I tend to agree in the main but on sunday I started watching 24 for the first time ever and it was superb. Quality viewing.

You have to admit, add a touch of British to any program (even Simon) and you get some watchability to American TV. Most (maybe all) successful american shows have actually come from Britain or overseas but rarely is this mentioned by the media
It more often than not surprises my American colleagues when I gloat about this fact
Anyway, I have my replay/tivo set (I cannot watch with adverts) and I'm ready for a beer and a sing song!!

I love 24 and was really looking forward to the new series, does anyone know of a way to view these episodes?
