The short hairy bloke seems to have lost the comic relief thing mostly, which helps a lot.

Continues to be meh.

Yeah I agree. The tacked on quiz just detracts from the Brooker goodness.

However the first episode on Inside Nature's Giants was quite interesting.

Torchwood: Children of Earth (5day Mini-Series) started last night on BBC America. Goes M-F.

Being Human starts this saturday on BBC America.

A werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost struggle to live normal lives, despite their strange and dark secrets.

Were these aired in the UK already? I never know with BBC America.

Torchwood was, I seem to have forgotten the ending, so it can't have been that great.

I recorded Being Human last year but only got around to watching 2 episodes.

I enjoyed being human. Thought it was going to be nothing but undead humour, was weird and dark in places. Excellent work from the guy who's been acting in uk stuff since about -4 years old.

Bum notice was pretty good.

The final 'sting' from the latest Bum Notice had me wetting myself - very well done.

Burn Notice was definitely good.

Royal Pains is a decent enough show.

Warehouse 13 is not quite shitty enough for me to stop, as there aren't many other shows for me to watch and it is OK.

I keep meaning to look into this - what's it about? I believe there is a British dude in it that will be making an appearance in Burn Notice soon.

Burn Notice is weak. Where is Frasier's Dad? Where's the main story? Where is the new guy from Mental? BTW... Mental is a good show but I think its cancelled...go figure. I don't know why you guys like this so much...they are quite simple and forgetable. Oh yeah...nice sell out to MGD 64...spent 5mins on advertising it. A 2% Beer...Sam wouldn't drink that crap...

Royal Pains has been fun to watch. The whole mysterious Boris thing is interesting and hopefully, the last episode ended the lovey-dovey crap so they can spend more time on a plot.

We get it, you don't like Burn Notice, let the rest of us enjoy it please. If you think it is so bad then don't watch.

Royal Pains is a medical drama about an ER doctor who gets fired when a billionaire hospital benefactor dies in his care. His brother drags him out to a party at some massive Hamptons mansion where he saves some girl's life, and then becomes the new Hamptons concierge doctor, i.e.: he goes to filthy rich people's mansions and treats them. It's nothing too unique, but it works alright.

Royal Pains is basically a comedy/medical drama with house calls to the Rich. The doctor got a "burn notice" and is now doing side jobs. He tends to "fix" everyone McGuyverishly...

British guy is the shrink from Mental and he's due soon on BurnNotice.

I liked the 1st season, 1/2 of the 2nd season which ended awesomely but this season has been quite boring. I just don't understand why everyone likes every episode so much...

Not a bad 'un. Felt a little different this week. New director/writer mayhaps? Or possibly just the vodka. Interesting that Michael's Lotus came from Italy though

Bang goes the theory.

Just watched this. kinda tomorrow's world meets vaguely mythbusters (in that they make random shit) and feels a bit like it'll never work.

not sure, but has potential. also not sure who it's aimed at, doesn't seem to be quite suited to kids or adults, but that was just the impression I got.
