New Battlestar Galactica (& Desperate Housewife & The OC & More) Hits The UK

Speaking of Battlestar Galactica, at last the third season arrives in the UK. And I mean the real third season, not that fake third season that got me to buy the "second season" as advertised on the DVD set when I was in the US earlier this year. But it's not just Battlestar that's back. All sorts of great American television is washing up on UK shores.

Battlestar Galactica kicks off January 9 on Sky One at 9pm. I spotted a promo the other day. Given my bandwidth limitations, I can't get the Sky One site to load, but TV Genius lists it happening them. So I guess it's Tuesday at 9pm going forward.

Desperate Housewives kicks off tonight with its third season. Like now. Like on TV in front of me, in a double episode. Channel 4 has info on it here that tells you everything but when it's on. Good job, Channel 4. Looks like Wednesdays at 9:30pm.

Ugly Betty also comes to Channel 4 this week. Info here, and the series runs on Fridays at 9:30pm. Can't wait to see it.

But wait, there's more! New ER begins this Sunday at 10pm. Maybe that's the repeat for the series opener. It's all to slow for me to tell. Check out more from TV Genius here. Last season was so bad we stopped watching. But if Abby's about to give birth...

But wait, there's even more. The OC. New! Fourth season new! After the death of Marissa. And how I loved Marissa. Who didn't love her. Actually, I grew to dislike her and swapped allegiances to Summer who was far more with it.

Finally, it's not American, but if you ever find a DVD for Green Wing in the US, buy it. Fantastic UK medical comedy, completely off the wall. A special airs tomorrow at 10pm on Channel 4. Can't wait. I love TV!

Ah.... the BSG. Didn't know my fellow orangatang county friend was a BSG fan. I remember my dad taking me to Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley to see the old school cylons in some kind of press or PR activity. Since then... I've always loved the story. Even have my wife HOOKED on it :) Can ya believe it!

Take care Danny, hope all is well.

You will be sad to hear that Fox announced today that they are cancelling "The OC"... I was just as sad!

Don't go for the OC but after Annalee Raved about the new series - I got hoocked.

Unfortunetly I don't have Sky so I have to wait till it comes out on DVD.

Though one odd though struck me about the running gag on vally wag about Marissa being a robot - It just struck me that Matt Cutts reminds me some what of Chief Tyrell.
