Bottom series one, probably the best comedy the BBC ever made. 

A friend of mine from India really loves it.

I wouldn't call it best by any means but it's funny if you like that sort of extreme broad physical comedy.

It's an extension of what Ade and Rik had been doing and continued to do for most of their career.

The Dangerous Brothers is basically the same routine as is the Comic Strip Presents Mr Jolly Lives Next Door neither of which began on the Beeb.

Well I've been pushing through about three different shows on a regular basis on Netflix for a while now. I watch an episode of each a night.

Lost - A lot better than what I thought it would be and a lot more coherent than it was made out to be as well. Though still need to see how it ends as that apparently is where the most complaints begin.

24 - Didn't really know anything about it other than it takes place in real time. Also that Jack Bauer was supposed to be the new Chuck Norris because he's supposed to have some crazy body count by the end of each season. That hasn't panned out at all. But it's an entertaining show, I like it.

The X-Files - I jumped into the show kind of late when it originally aired so it's been nice starting from the beginning. Good stuff.

I've made pretty good progress in these three but still have a long way to go. Except for Lost, that's almost over and I'm kind of sad about that.

Episode 11 of Cowboy Bebop.

This was like watching an homage to the Alien films. Plus, I'm beginning to like Ed a little more than I did initially.

Just started watching "Dexter" for the first time. Started season one last night.

I've never taken this much Kirk in one hit.

Do you have any idea what the street value of this Captain is?

Or the Jennifer Carpenter Quality Swears Show as we prefer to call it in Chateau Bingowings.

Breaking Bad season 4 finale.

4 balls [out of 4] this show just keeps getting better and better.

Finally got around to watching the first episode of Penn & Teller: Tell a Lie. :( Wow, extremely boring. Guess some people would find it entertaining, I just find it mind numbing. Really going to miss Bullshit!

I found the first few Bullshit!s entertaining (anything that encourages skepticism is alright by me) but then I noticed a pattern to their shows of bringing out the worst advocates possible of things they don't agree with which they shouted down or demonstrated to be ridiculous and the most emotionally charged advocate for things they did agree with which they made out to be authorities on the subject.

This may be some sort of ironic comment on their part (using the same sort of 'propaganda programming' techniques that the 'bad guys' use as an audience litmus test) and it's in line with the guys who made Rebo And Zooty 'deliberately' not funny to comment on how not all comedy translates well over time.

But I didn't buy it myself. 

Pilot episode of Louie.

Meh.

I was really disappointed given some of the great things I've heard about this show.  I never found his standup that funny, so it was very annoying to have to sit through six or eight minutes of run-of-the-mill standup as part of the show.  As for the rest, there were a few chuckles but otherwise I was pretty bored.

I'm going to give it one or two more episodes, but I'm not encouraged.
