Yep, love it, reckon it's hilarious. Can't wait for season three to come out.


Season 1 was the show's best.

I finished season 1 through the hottest days of the Xmas break and have knocked over around 14 or 15 of season 2. All of the main characters are excellent.

Extremely well written and cast show - Brooklyn Nine Nine.
Helps that I lust after Melissa Fumero.

I love the fact that over time there are less and less comedies with a laugh track.

I re-watched Trailer Park Boys recently. Definitely an acquired taste but I still find it hysterical.

Have re-watched a fair few shows actually; Parks and Recreation, The Office (UK), Extras. Makes me realise how much I hate laugh tracks.

I started "The Grinder" last night - really funny especially if you've seen Rob Lowe in Parks and Rec (similar sort of acting that he did in it) with a cast including Fred Savage, The Waitress from Always Sunny, and James Heller from 24.

We started watching Trailer Park Boys.

Got about 5 episodes in. Can definitely see why you say its an acquired taste. We found it pretty funny. Very weird, but funny.

Yes it's definitely down and dirty - but addictive - and well adlibscripted.
Gets better too

It's basically Housos, except in Canada, in a trailer park.

@Wedgie likes it a bit :)

I watched a documentary called The Imposter on Netflix last night.

True story of a Frenchman impersonating a missing 14 year old from Texas.

Really f**ked up story. Great doco though.

Probably an old netflix series but The Following with Kevin Bacon seems interesting enough

I had a look at a few eps of this and in the end gave up as it got more and more ludicrous to the point of annoyance. I won't give up specific plot points but suffice to say the same "twist" happened over and over again to where I was waiting for the inevitable to happen..................and it always did.
