TV Junkie: Get Comforted; Flight of the Conchords on Letterman

A Word or 100+:
Ooops, I missed the Tonys, malhereusement. If there's a pick tonight, other than arena football, then it's the US version of Creature Comforts on CBS at 8:00 p.m. (from the creator of Wallace and Gromit). I love the UK version but my kids have a hard time with the various British accents and some of the various topics - I know it's a lot to ask for but I'm hoping that the US version manages to correct this but not lose any of the humor.

Tonight - Monday - June 11th, 2007

Mets @ Dodgers (KCAL, 7:00 p.m.)

Avengers @ Rattlers (ESPN2, 7:00 p.m.) Arena football baby!

Creature Comforts (CBS, 8:00 p.m.) Series premiere!

Creature Comforts looks truly funny. I think using American dialogue instead of British works successfuly in the clips I've seen, so I hope this becomes another situation like The Office where both versions found success.

Man, I love all the Aardman claymation work... so pleasant to watch... puts a smile on my face everytime... I could watch this stuff 24/7 if I didn't have to sleep and work. I really hope this show does well.

I think it will be very good - I hope they keep it up and don't make any stupid network decisions. It's "different" so who knows what will happen. I echo your sentiments on 'The Office'.
