I'm starting season two of The Shield. It's awesome, love it.

Seems all good shows start with "The"

The Shield
The Wire
The Office
The Sopranos
The Wombles
I love 'Food and Stuff'. It's where I buy all of my food. And most of my stuff.

Parks and Recreation is very good - well cast and written.

I also love Arrested Development

Arrested development is great. P&R is starting to go down hill the last series.

New breakfast show started on ch10 this morning - doubt it will last much longer than their previous effort.

Looked fairly amateurish. At least the other one you could rely on Paul Henry saying something stupid/controversial. The current male co-host - I think its James Matheson -looks a bit out of his depth, I'd say theyre going for the younger auduence.

In saying that, I'll probably still flick over from time to time to check it out.

Set your DVD timer to record/watch ABC2 Thursday 28 November at 22.15 "The day the immigrants left"

Its a British doco where long term unemployed Brits complain that immigrants are taking jobs away from the British. The unemployed Brits are interviewed at the start and they brag about how they are not afraid of hard work and will do any type of work. Then they are given/offered jobs that the immigrants do (which supposedly prevent the Brits getting work) but then see the excuses fly think and fast when they don't do the jobs as good as the immigrants or the excuses for not turning up for the jobs. A real eye opener on unemployment and prejudice/racism.

Everyone hated Brian anyway. Least favourite character on Family Guy.

Are you being sarcastic? The new homeland has been effing horrible! Still invested enough time and it is still decent, but compared to the first season it is just disappointing
