Spring 2008 TV update
I have recently stumbled across a few shows worth mentioning.To top my list is two That Mitchell and Webb Look Clicking the link gives you some video samples of their skits.
These two guys David Mitchell and Robert Webb have had two shows on the BBC . The first one "that Mitchell and Webb Look" is a series of skits not unlike Monty Python. Whereas their second and more popular show named Peep Show is more of a tradition sitcom. Both shows are worth watching and are shown on BBC America, or available on your favorite Torrent site. I highly recommend the first one. "You will laugh until you stop."
Next on my list is the drama Damages staring Glen Close and Ted Danson. This is 13 part courtroom drama is every bit as watchable as Michael Clayton. As FX has proved to us with shows like The Shield they are capable of blurring the ideals of good and bad into just concepts which our fathers once held to. These characters now seemed all consumed with wining and not getting caught at the expense of anyone. Be warned its addictive.. you really are stuck to watch the entire 13 parts once you start... but in my opinion, its well worth it.
A and E's Andromeda Strain While there is no air date yet, and the DVD Release date is June 3rd, and somewhere in the UK its already been broadcast. last night I watched part one Not Great,but not bad either. If you have nothing better do on a Sunday afternoon its better than watching UFO Stories on history channel.

Hah! And I was just remarking to a friend of mine about how it was great to see the UFO investigation shows back on the air. Takes me back to when I was a wee lad, when Sightings was the best thing on television!
I'm very curious to see this adaptation of The Andromeda Strain. I remember seeing the 1971 Robert Wise version also when I was pretty young.
