Give the Jeremiah season 1 dvd set a try. Season 2 is in hiatus/limbo mid-season and it's probably going to be cancelled too, but that's probably one of the selling points. Cancelled = good show these days!?!? LOL :(

and was trying to get back into 'Enterprise', but that didnt pan out (no offense to the Trekkers out there, but that show's writing wasnt that great; and after 35 years of time travel plots, more time travel plots arent the way to be fresh and exciting)


Don't worry. The majority off Trekkers agree with you. Its only TPTB that don't realize that.

MI5 was pretty solid.



I'm intrigued - how is Spooks (as it should be known), shown over in the US? - its an hour long (no commercials) over here, and has swearing and head boiling and stuff.

I still have a copy on my hard drive if you're still interested... email me at tmhughes at uvic dot ca if you'd like it.

I cannot believe how long it's going to be until Carnivale Season 2 starts! It had some of the most imaginative stories I've heard in a long while.

After Firefly??? There is television after Firefly?

I was already watching Stargate SG1 before Firefly, so that doesn't count. The only thing really I have been watching on a regular basis since FF is Angel since TNT has started running the earlier seasons at 5 EST.

There's nothing worth watchin' like mad.

I live in NY and the pickings are slim. I have 1259 channels available to me ..and there are about 4 stations that ever have anything on them worth watching.

MI-5 Excellent show..slightly toned down from the European version I'm sure.

My favorite TV station is BBC America. I watch Simpsons when they are on. Other then that..its BBC.. (and the occasional Food Network show hehe) I'm a huge fan of "The Two Fat Ladies" I only own a couple episodes..but still good stuff.

One show I was Obsessed with..and we can only get like a few episodes every blue moon is "Jonathan Creek". Awesome Hippie-fied Detective/deduction type show. I was sad to see that it had been canceled. I'm still trying to get my hands on all the episodes in DVD format.. No luck yet. BTW for all you Buffy/Angel Fans- Anthony Stewart Head played Jonathan's Illusionist Boss, Adam Klaus,for about 3 episodes in season 1. He was replaced after season 1 because he took a part on some vampire slayer TV show..go figure.

Wonderfalls and Arrested Development.

I haven't seen enough episodes of either of these to definitively rate them as "watch like mad" shows yet, but so far they have me intrigued.

Wonderfalls is random and quirky as all hell, which appeals to me. Someone on another thread said its quirkiness was Ally McBeal-ish, and I'd say yes to a point, but before Ally McBeal began to suck (of course, if you never liked Ally McBeal to begin with, that would be the first episode, but for me it was later in the show's run).

Arrested Development is quite twisted and probably not for everyone, but it's kept me laughing so far.
