I'm hooked on QI.

Same here. Watched loads of clips on youtube awhile ago, but discovered this summer that I had BBC Entertainment and that they showed it there. Seen every episode since then.

It's brilliant.

US. Haven't seen the UK version, how does it compare?

Also, I do get the suspicion that the whole show is not improv like they claim.

Different opinions from different people, but I think the US version is FAR superior to the UK version, Ryan and Colin come into their own in the US version.

And, QI is brilliant. A new series started on Friday, series I, which I haven't seen yet, but I'm positive it won't disappoint!

Entourage is now officialy over :(

Just no.

Dear, dear Andreas. Entourage and Two and a Half Men? Please let me send you the first season of The Sopranos.

Two and a Half Men has to be the most overrated television show since Everybody Loves Raymond.

My Callan - the Monochrome Years has just arrived. And I had intended to mow the lawn, pick peaches and freeze them, clean the kitchen, and loads more...

maybe I'll just change my plans...

Finished Prison Break, one of the best series I've watched.. Season 1 and 3 being my favourites.

I missed the first season when it aired and I heard it was originally suppose to be just one season and the way they extended it was pretty badly done, so I never bothered to watch the later seasons. I might watch the first season if they decided to show it again or I managed to get a copy of the DVD-box, though.

Just started watching the modern version, the improva-ganza thing. So far I got to say, its slightly disappointing, but that maybe down to the sudden change in style after watching 'Whose line' all this time.

Talking of "Whose Line is it Anyway?", did anyone watch the short lived "Drew Carey's Green Screen Show"? It was a somewhat similar series as it was about improv, but it had the added gimmick of using a chroma screen behind the actors. I don't think it added much and the quality wasn't all that great, but there were some funny scenes here and there. I just thought I'd mention it in case you like "Whose Line..." and haven't seen it.

No haven't seen it. I'll watch it if you tell me that Drew Carey doesn't actually take part in any of the sketches.

New series called Alcatraz coming out in 2012, looks very interesting

As far as I can remember, he was just the host and didn't take part in the improv-scenes, but it's been about five years since I saw bits and pieces of it, so I don't remember it all too well. Besides, it was a Friday night and I was at my mate's place, we were heading for a night out on the town and we'd been drinkin beer for a couple of hours by the time we started watching those clips, so I may not be the most reliable source on this. I know such a show exists, though.

Well, thats good enough. One of the reasons I'm not liking the new show is that Carey seems to be in most sketches and Colin in very few.

On series 5 of the wire. Its probably my favourite series I've ever watched tbh.

I still have to watch The Wire. Heard it's life-changing.

The thing is, on Netflix right now are tons of tv show options: Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights, Lost. Plus my friends are lending me and my girlfriend Dexter. Too many choices! I do know that I will likely not start watching any new shows this season, as I just have too much on my tv-watching plate right now. Gotta get some work done at some point.

I need to watch The Wire as well!

Go with Dexter first, you wont regret it! Probably my favourite show of all time and season 6 just started. Prison Break should be on your list as well if you have not seen it, class series.

If you haven't seen The Wire, how can you possibly advise him to watch Dexter first! The Wire is absolutely brilliant, Ace, go for it!

Sorry Moi but as you say I have not seen the Wire so I cant tell him how good it is haha!

I'm with Andreas here. If he hasn't seen The Wire, how can he possibly recommend it?

True, but equally he's not in a position to say that Dexter should be watched first. He's not in a position to recommend it, but nor is he in a position to advise postponing it till after the viewing of Dexter.

I have 7 episodes of Dexter Series 5 left, I'm going to storm it over the next day or so. Then I'll move in to The Wire or Firefly, I haven't decided yet!

Why pick one? Surely you can watch both Dexter and The Wire? Two great shows at once - can't get much better than that.

I've just seen like the first two seasons of Dexter. I have to watch the rest.

Soon the 2nd season of The Walking Dead starts so then I'll have yet another one to watch.

After I finish Queer As Folk (just over a season left now) I think I'll move on to Dexter.

Have you read the graphic novels? I've yet to see the television series, but the graphic novels are pretty good. I was surprised, as I didn't think I would enjoy them, but they're actually pretty decent.
