Howaythetoon 0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Watched a show called Scrubs the other day, found it canny funny if not a bit too slick if you know what I mean. Don't think I'll go out and buy the series. 112545[/snapback] Welcome to 2001 112596[/snapback] I know. Same with the Office, League of Gentleman, Big Britain, I'm Alan Partridge, Red Dwarf and for Faulty Towers, a good few years. I'm not a telly adict so I don't go out my way to watch stuff, I usually watch all these shows when they get repeated on terrestrial TV a few years later. Scrubs was on a channel on freeview at a mate's house, sat down and watched it for 20 minutes, laughed a lot but as I said, bit too slick for me, no real spontaneity to it. I was second guessing the gags after 10 minutes. I don't think I've watched an episode of 24 or lost either which seems to dominate N.O and some posts on here.

Most of it seems to revolve around this fella, who obviously is comedy: 112548[/snapback] That's almost exactly the image I have of GF, am I wrong? 112557[/snapback] That's his 'after' photo tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 1 Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 (edited) I've been watching Fawlty Towers again recently. "What were you expecting to see? The Sydney Opera House? The Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Heards of wildebeast, sweeping across the plain?" I have also developed an affection for Connie Booth. Good work John!

Happy Face 29 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I'm up to episode 3 of Heroes season 2 and I'm really starting to tire of it. It's just been revealed that this antique sword critical to series 1 that's 4 centuries old and has been under lock and key in the greatest museums around the world for most of that time had a plastic stopper in the handle where Hiro hid some messages that remained undiscovered all this time until Ando just happens across them? That's not half as bad as the crap going on in the past with production value on a par with Xena Warrior Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Sorry, shouldn't have been negative, it's favourites isn't it. 30 Rock will return with a third season as part of NBC's fall schedule. The season will consist of 22 episodes and is scheduled to premiere on October 30, 2008. Real Time with Bill Maher came back a few weeks ago too. The Daily Show is always excellent. Colbert almost always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) TV satire 30 Rock dominated the comedy side of the US TV Emmy Awards, winning four honours including best series. Its stars, Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey, took home the best acting honours while Fey also won the comedy writing award. Period dramas Mad Men and John Adams won the awards for best drama series and best mini-series. British actress Dame Eileen Atkins took home the award for best supporting actress in a mini-series for her role in the BBC drama Cranford. "We're very grateful to be up here again and so grateful to have survived into our third season," Fey said as she accepted the best comedy series award. "We are all very grateful to have jobs in this turkey-burger economy." Baldwin added: "This is the greatest job I've ever had in my life." Tom Wilkinson was the only other Briton to win an award, taking the trophy for best supporting actor in a mini-series for John Adams. The drama, about the United States' second president, saw best acting trophies for Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney and scooped the most awards of the night, winning five honours. It took 13 Emmys in total, including eight won a week earlier at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards - the most ever by a mini-series. Drama Mad Men, set in New York's advertising industry in the early 1960s, won the best drama series and best drama writing awards. Five-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close was named best actress in a drama for her portrayal of a ruthless trial lawyer on the legal series Damages. The show also won Zeljko Ivanek a best supporting actor award. Jeremy Piven and Jean Smart took home the comedy series supporting actor honours for their roles in Entourage and Samantha Who? respectively. For the 60th anniversary of the awards show, organisers recognised the rise of reality TV by including a category for outstanding reality show host - a prize that went to Jeff Probst of Survivor. The Office and Extras star Ricky Gervais provided some light relief to the ceremony by giving the celebrity audience some tips on how to make a good acceptance speech. "Keep it short, particularly if you're not on-screen talent - no one wants to hear from a producer... and don't cry - it's pathetic, it's just an award," he advised. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7628687.stm Edited September 22, 2008 by Happy Face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
