It's not on tv, but I bought the boxset of Arrested Development a few weeks ago and am ploughing through. It's brilliant, if entirely unlike anything else. It's also confirmed I'm a pervert.

Funnily enough, my brother was disgusted that I hadn't seen it so he lent me the boxset. Yet to watch any though but I'm sure I'll love it.

It's the best isn't it. It was the constant praise it got on here from people whose comedy judgement I trust in (Rockwell and JLM mainly) that convinced me to give it a go. I don't know why but before that I wrongly assumed it was another shit family based US sitcom, in the mould of 'Two and a Half Men' or something. Couldn't have been further from the truth.

 

The pervert comment though....do go on.

Anybody else watching "One Man Army" on Discovery? This show is fucking insane. Remember that thing on Sky One with Phil Mitchell and a bunch of supposed hard-nuts? Well this is like that crossed with a Commando. Basically they round up four marines/green berets/MMA fighters and make them fire massive guns in the back of a moving jeep, destroy heavy doors and do impossible tasks whilst completely underwater. Here's a typical scene...

Onto Season Two of Mad Men now, and really really enjoying it. Last episode I watched was 'A Night To Remember' and i thought it was fantastic, finally I am starting to see shades to Joans character who I absolutely hated up until this point, Betty becomes way better too and I am really intruiged by her relationship with Don and her own self. Also the slow unravelling of Don is amazing, like in 'The Gold Violin' SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

"You're not Don Draper"

gave me chills.

 

add me to the list of people gutted about Bored To Death being cancelled, loved it :(

Was very happy to find a supermarket that sells frozen bananas - got some in, along with a thing of candybeans, to watch a marathon.
