    Sucks bawls, according to my mates who've watched it.

    I never take any notice of them because none of them like sci-fi, however
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    It rawkz00rz, is the phrase I think Mulcadia would use

    I actually haven't watched The Office, either version. I only watched the Christmas special ones.

    It's not really that weird.

    Most of the very best UK comedy shows are only a few seasons long - so they don't get stale. The writers dictate to the network, not vice-versa.

    Ricky Gervais just decided that he couldn't make another series as funny as the previous two and it would be better to stop.
    That makes sense. I remember The Cosby Show went on strong for 8 24-epsiode seasons then Bill Cosby called it quits 'cause he wanted the show to end on top.

    Over here, if a show is hit, the network will try to milk it. Usually they don't get stale too soon if the show was a hit to begin with. X-Files was still got decent rating even after Mulder left but of course it last long.

    I'd be pissed if a hit show just up and stopped after 2 seasons.

    I wouldn't have The Shield (5th season), BSG (going into it's 3rd season), Stargate SG-1 (going into it's 10th season), 24 (5th season), and Babylon 5 (5 seasons).

    I hate FOX for not picking up John Doe for a 2nd season (download it, you'll like it) but it might have started at the wrong time. It has Dominic Purcell from Prison Break. I didn't really watch Firefly that much 'cause I didn't have time.

    Writers have as much control as the contract stipulates. I'm surprised Dave Chappelle has not been sued by Comedy Central. They probably rather have him back and happy.

    I had high hopes for Extras. It was the exact opposite of The Office (American). I watch one episode and thought it was good then was bored to tears on some of the subsequent ones.

    HBO is bringing the second season over here and I'm like, "Why?". It sucks.
    Silly bitch, your weapons cannot harm me. Don't you know who I am? I'm the Juggernaut, Bitchhhh!

    I'm looking for another series to download, I'll take a look at John Doe. Thanks.

    I'm watching Supernatural at the moment, it's pretty funny but so very silly. The missus seems to like it and I can tolerate it so I guess I'll carry on

    I was gonna start watching Millennium but the sound codec used in series one that I downloaded recently isn't compatible with any of my three DivX players and I'm fooked if I'm watching it on the PC.

    I think the point made earlier is a good one. The US version has a sitcom feel, whereas the UK one has more a "fly on the wall" feel.

    The initial "copies" were OK, but since it has been using new scripts the US version has become a good quality American sitcom. I download it as soon as possible and watch them. It's something I actually look forward to getting.

    Just finished rewatching Dark Angel season 1, not as good as I remember it to be, but still the pwnage. Season 1 pwns anyway, season two just got shite with Joshua the talking man dog, and with episodes where freeing mermaid people was the main plot

    shame it got canceled rly, but it did get canceled so that FireFly could have its money. that turned out well didn't it.

    I liked extras, however I've been a fan of Ricky Gervaias since he appeared on the 11:00 O'Clock show.

    I think his stand up is laugh out loud funny. Not many comedians do that for me.
