Big Shock

I'm pretty shocked to hear that TBBT is not something everyone here is already watching, much less that you haven't even heard about it. It's a monday night CBS show now in it's seacond. Its debut was anything but a big bang in the ratings, but has really come into it's own this year. While anyone can get a good laugh out of the show it really hits the spot with many geeks with stuff that only we could understand. You really have to give it a try.

Captain: Lady Denstat clued me in on The IT Crowd last year and I've since watched all the episodes and anxiously await new episodes as they are made available. While the show certainly has a geek side, there is so much more to it than that. Not really surprised that the attempt to make an american variant failed. It's the Brit take that really shines here. As a secondary entertainment aspect, I enjoy trying to pick out items and references that I know in all the background office decorations/posters/clutter. You've mentioned Flight of the Conchords to me before. Have to look that one up.

TAG: Yes, Fringe has created it's own path, w.r.t X-Files, something of a concern at the begining. I've wondered if they purposely named the character of "Walter" so that they could then portray the complete opposite of calm/cool/collected/sane Skinner. I'll try to take your sug to get back with T:SCC. Now that I think of it, I may have dropped it when I started watching Big Bang, as the two may be opposing time slots. That would explain it.

I've also heard good things about Chuck and I KNOW that I should be watching Dexter as well. I guess despite what we sometimes say, there really are good TV shows around. Some of these I'm just going to have to pick up as DVD sets and catch up on over time. I'm curretly cycling through Season 2 of Babylon 5 (the entire series sets were recently going for $18/pop at Costo) and just finished both volumes of season 1 of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea before that.
