Lab Rats.
Tries to be the IT crowd, doesn't quite work, amused a little in places.
Not quite sure yet, maybe worth a watch.

Made me chuckle a few times, especially the conversation when the guy was quoting films, put a smirk on my face even after I'd seen it in the trailer.

i was quite disappointedly actually, it had potential, but the acting quality, typecast characters, and pretty crap storyline lets it down massively.
Nowhere near as nicely written or polished as the IT crowd.

I wasn't expecting much at all, so the few amusing bits where a nice surprise.
it might get better once they get into the swing of things, so i'm gonna give it a chance.
I do agree that it's nothing on the IT crowd.

Flashpoint
Kinda like
The Unit, but with a SWAT team, so kinda like SWAT too, but less 70s, and more pretty.
Shows potential in the action/drama way.

Originally 13 episodes were planned but some cunting motherfucker butchered it to 8. Quite interesting, but the missing 5 episodes ruin it.
My keywords: action/corrupt FBI agents/false accusations/animal in title

I just saw the 2nd Episode i think..."Scorpio". Um, TOO much Drama for me. Soap operas with guns are still Soap Operas. I like the sarge...he was funny as hell in "Just Shoot Me" sitcom. Somehow, I don't think he's gonna make me laugh in this series.

I agree with the drama thing, Kinda. certainly a bit too much in that ep, but I'm hoping it'll get toned down fairly quickly.

oh god, ep2 sucked remarkably hard.
2 bits that amused, but in 30 minutes, that's not good.

Flashpoint was better...although, the action scene took less than 10seconds...

I thought I'd mentioned this...
Generation Kill
Wiki says: Based on Evan Wright's book about his experiences as an embedded reporter with the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion during the Iraq war's first phase in 2003.
Berk says: Rather good, kinda band of brothers 2003, worth a sweep.

I'm not sure if it had been mentioned, searching revealed nothing remotely related...
'Allo 'Allo
Sitcom series set during World War II in a the french town of Nouvion, in Café René, whose owner René gets forced into helping the French Resistance, while is forced to collaborate with the stationed german troops, and the Gestapo, and while trying to hide the fact he's assisting each from the other two. There were 9 series produced and there wasn't a single episode I didn't enjoy. A must.

Allo Allo is a fine example of camp humour.

Spooks - Code 9.
Spooks spin off, seems okay so far, undecided yet.
