What TV programmes are watching at the moment?

[Kristatos]

I finally have a working TV now. I watched Hustle last night, followed by Supernatural, which some friends who share my taste in TV recommended to me. I think I need to see a few more episodes of the latter before I form an opinion, as not being familiar with the characters and plots, I had a hard time following the episode I saw.

I'm enjoying watching the great Colt Seavers in action in The Fall Guy. Lee Majors should have been Bond.

Having watched Department S and the Saint, the champions, which were all favorites of mine as a Kid, I can't help but notice the small sets they had to work with for the street scenes. the same basic set appeares in all series,probably more. I'm amazed I never noticed that as a Kid. some weeks you see Simon Templar walking in to a shop in an aparently different Part of London ,when clearly behind him is his apartment from the last show.
In an episode of Department s set in france ( same set, French wording on signs ) Jason King ( The origional Austin Powers ) gets rescued in a Lefthand drive white Jag, but the Interior shots it's a Righthand drive car.
I'm not Knocking these Old shows, I just amused that as a kid I simply never noticed the low Budget these shows had to work with.
And I'm enjoying The Fallyguy all over again, I bought my first Body warmer Because of that show.

Watched the first instalment of Adam Curtis's excellent documentary series All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace on BBC iPlayer. I now feel I understand why the world is in the mess it's in a lot better than I did before.

I enjoy his docs but never quite know what is going on in them. Was he attacking the looniest of the "free-marketeers"?

I'm not sure he was really "attacking" anyone. His docs are a kind of stream of consciousness, weaving together all sorts of disparate elements (in this case Ayn Rand, the Clenis, the overthrow of General Suharto and a giant game of Pong) into one sort-of-coherent narrative. I haven't seen part 2 yet, but apparently he goes after two sacred cows, the idea of the ecosystem (a computer-generated fantasy, according to Curtis) and the notion that the Internet empowers ordinary people. i'm not sure whether Curtis is a genius or a madman, but he certainly makes you think.

I'm enjoying the new series of Curb Your Enthusiasm, especially when he went in the Palestinian Chicken restaurant.

[Blowfeld]

I heard Futurama had two references to Doctor Who! I though they were cancelled

What is the deal with Endeavour , A Morse prequel? Really?

[katied]

Not really getting into any of the new TV shows,except for Up All Night with Will Arnett (Mr./ Amy Poehler) and Christina Applegate.

[Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry]

The new series of Dexter.

[Kristatos]

Just watched the last ever episode of Spooks (MI5 for US readers). Wow, that went out on a high. I've said it before and I'll say it again, at its best, Spooks is what a Bond film should be like.

Always thought of Spooks as being a poor man's 24 - perhaps my pre-conception is misguided?

[katied]

Lots of good reality TV..my TiVo is getting a workout!

I don't think so, it's much more of an ensemble piece, whereas 24 is very much the Jack Bauer Show.

Outrageous Food. Some bearded bloke visits diners where they eat sandwiches the size of a car.

I enjoy those programmes such as Man V food but they some of the food is OTT?
