I am sure I will miss some of the musical references but best suited to music buffs you like intelligent comedy

Someone recommended Dexter. Seen some of that too & good show.

Skins , Scrubs & Heroes.
New series of heroes is out in the US but is online now.
Most of these programmes can be seen *at the usual places

The new Heroes looks worth watching if you've seen the first series.

Came across a newish one (released in the summer) called Burn Notice which USA Network airs in the states. Bruce Campbell plays a supporting role which is all some of us need from a TV show.

Not turk is it?? That cant happen - its the chemistry between turk and jd that makes the programme a classic

Shows that I watch now and still enjoy:

Mythbusters - Discovery Channel, fascinating show
South Park
Scrubs
How I Met Your Mother - Channel 6
CSI's

All very good.

I remember seeing an interview with the guy that plays Turk on the morning that the current season was starting. He said this was the last season, as opposed to just his. I was under the impression that this has been considered the case for some time.

The Mighty Boosh.

It's already been mentioned and it's a bit 'weird' but I caught an episode last night which was pretty good. I saw one a while back which was even weirder.

It's again in 20 minutes on BBC 3 if you can get that.

This is a clip from last nights show.

This is the classic Boosh youtube clip - if you like this, you'll like the show

I've been taping the excellent but short-lived Andy Barker, P.I. on RTE2 (late Sunday night/early Monday morning). Funny show with a proper (but comedic) detective story running through each episode. Like the earlier Andy Richter Controls the Universe you can only catch it at the kind of timeslot that the eircom League Weekly repeat usually airs. Dumped after six episodes that nobody watched (NBC released the series online before it aired on TV)

You can see the show starting to hit its stride and the potential for greatness was there if they'd given it enough time to find itself.

Sadly, Andy Richter will now always be known as successful sitcom Kryptonite and that guy who was Conan O'Brien's sidekick.

And Ali G's husband in talladega nights.

Scrubs was offcially in its last series (even having a farwell tour) but creator Bill lawrence said he wwouldn't let the WGA strike ruin his plans for a finale to the show so they may be back next year.

And I disagree with Pete, the last season of the US office was as close to comedy gold as anybody has got in years (honourable mention to series two of Arrested Development)

Good show that. Yer mans a bit of a hero.
Did anyone see that 'Equator' programme where the presenter went nuts with jublilation every time they crossed the equator, at a point according to his GPS gadget. Hugging and hi-fiving with dudes who havent a clue why hes randomly exploded into joy on some meaningless journey they make every single day.

Since that whenever we cross a border,eg Slovakia into Czech Rep.,Ireland to Wales ye gotta hi-five and cheer randomly in the name of that bloke who loves the equator.

only fools and horses

IT CROWD

Ramsays kitchen nightmares

**Neish** · 20/06/2008, 10:31 AM

God a new one for ya all

Dexter http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0773262/

Got the first season recently of my sister, decent show IMO. Nowhere near as good as my top 3 Sopranos, The Wire and OZ but it good and gave me something to watch untill Season 5 of OZ is released at end of the month.

**John83** · 20/06/2008, 11:00 AM

I watched Dexter. The first season's just finished here. I like it a lot.

The premise is odd. The title character is a forensics specialist on blood for the Miami police, who is also a serial killer who only kills other serial killers. The first season (13 episodes) is going reasonably cheap on amazon, I think.
