I don’t sit in front of the TV all night any more, I sit in front of it all morning instead. I have an hour before work each day to be a couch potato, and two hours before feeding time at the weekends. There’s nothing good on at that time in the morning, but that’s OK, I have a DVR. Some of the things I’ve been watching lately:
- Re-runs of The Good Life on PBS, even though they insist on calling it Good Neighbours
- Brotherhood on TMN; a Showtime drama about two Irish brothers, one a politician and the other a gangster. Sometimes I’m not entirely sure which is which.
- Northern Town on CBC; a quirky comedy about, well, a northern town. It has that slightly amateurish Canadian feel about it but it’s still entertaining.
- Hustle on CBC; a BBC drama about a group of con-men (and one con-woman for the sex appeal) in London and their wacky antics.
- Carnivale on TMN; I know it’s been cancelled but I still can’t pull myself away.
- Rough Science on TVO; Geeky show about a group of geeky British (and one American) scientists in New Zealand solving geeky scientific tasks. Yes, I’m a geek.
- Time Team on TVO; I just love watching Tony Robinson trying to make archeology sound as exciting as possible.
- Doctor Who on CBC; OK, season two hasn’t started yet, but it’s coming!
Talking of Dr Who, someone has been leaving comments on one of my old Dr Who posts today. They are strangely formatted and difficult to decipher but still interesting, thanks “K9 MK78″.
