TV Junkie: Weekend Edition
This weekend it's all about BBC America's programming with new seasons of "Robin Hood", "The Graham Norton Show", and "Wire In The Blood". I've seen previews of "Robin Hood" and it's a more than worthy replacement for "Torchwood" whose season (dramatically) ended last Saturday with the (supposed) deaths of at least two main characters. Of course, you'll have to be able to emotionally handle the incredible switch from science fiction to fantasy in order to enjoy "Robin Hood" but just give it a try. [Don't forget the finale of "Tracey Ullman's State of the Union" on Sunday @ 10:00pm on Showtime].
Also, tomorrow is the 2008 NFL Draft and coverage starts at 11:30am Pacific on the NFL Network. Supposedly you'll be able to follow along on your cell phone at either http://www.nfl.com or http://wap.nfl.com
