Just watched the first episode of David Mitchell's new show, The Bubble.

Essentially it's about some celebs being locked away without news for 4 days then going on the show and deciding out of a mix of news stories which ones are real and actually happened.

I don't see it lasting more than a couple of episodes myself, but this episode raised a chuckle, mostly due to the presence of Frank Skinner and Reginald D Hunter.

It did seem a bit awkward, especially after the BBC news banning presenters story. I'll see who's on next/this week and decide whether to try again.

I always give it the benefit of the doubt because the first ep gives feedback and changes happen. Germaine Greer, Ed Byrne and Jon Richardson are the people starring in the second one, so it looks like the guest format is 2 comedians and another celebrity.

Same thing happened with Russell Howard's Good News, first episode was jarring and not fantastic but second was much better.

SW:The Clone Wars
-- The cities and all the visuals are just awesome, but this season has been lacking the good dialogue and story lines of the first 2 seasons.

Supernatural
-- It lost its edge and quite corny at times. They should just wrap up the main storyline and end it this season.

Caprica
-- uggh, 5 episodes which could have easily been condensed into 2! Although, previews for Ep6 on Friday looks like a lot of action, but looks can be deceiving...

Psych
-- Still funny and cute.

Human Target
-- Quite good if you half watch it and half websurf.

Bum Notice
-- Season final 2 episodes. Usually gets good at the end.

Southland
-- March 2

In Plain Sight
-- March 31

oh, watched the first new V episode i've had sitting on the DVR finally, deleted the rest...

Oh dear, it's like that, is it?

I suppose we could never have reasonably hoped for the sort of transformation given to BSG or a repeat of the glorious cheesiness of the original.

Bum.

still, they're showing Torchwood every evening here atm and against my better judgement (after all it'a all welsh and a faaabulous yank) I'm rather enjoying it. In sadder news Mrs B has become addicted to robinHood - pack of lies which they're showing just before TW

The Bubble Episode 2 down. It's improved a bit but it's still so so. I think I'll probably watch it all though as it is making me laugh.

Next episode is Sue Perkins, Sarah Millican and Clive Anderson. Which could be fun.

Is Chuck up to 3 seasons now?

I'm still working my way through Season 2 box set and absolutely loving it.

I watched the Southland marathon up to the new one and they over-hyped the new episode a bit. It was good...just not faaabulous.

BN season finale is excellent, but defines a new level of predictable cliffhangers.

I thought it was awesome. When Slug fires his gun at the kid in the car and the mob starts attacking the cops, that was some intense shit.
