Have you tried BURN NOTICE yet? It really impresses me on a regular basis. Consistently entertaining.
Ditto B O TED, if you like you humor dry.
And TORCHWOOD is coming which will be amazing.
Further down the ladder, that MERLIN show is not bad in a LEGEND OF THE SEEKER way.
Thanks for the tips venicedog, we are fans of "Better Off Ted" and the new season of "Torchwood", which BBC America has been kind enough to give us a preview of, is excellent!
We regularly highlight "Burn Notice" on the TV Junkie, but "Merlin", really? OK, we'll give it another try.
It's a minor pleasure. I'm probably swayed a bit by the presence of Giles from BUFFY.
That and switching back n forth btwn that and BIG BROTHER the other night which made it seem genius.
