My 11 year old loves Arrested Development. He loves Lego. I guess it was inevitable the two would collide. He’s been busy constructing scenes from Arrested Development out of Lego. Here, Gob is about to make the yacht Lucille disappear:
Here, Gob is hanging out with one of the many girls of low self-esteem during Spring [...]

Another Thanksgiving in Britain, another year of missing the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade live on TV. But the webcast is happening again! You’ll find it here, and my thoughts about viewing it from abroad from last year are in my Watching The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade From Abroad post. Postscript: Damn, CNN apparently had a [...]

I’m a big 24 fan. Season 6 is well underway in the UK, and we’ve just had (SPOILER!) the president injured in a bomb blast. The vice president’s now in charge, which got me thinking. In the 24 world, being VP is nothing like that “pitcher of warm piss” [...]

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 [...]

Another Thanksgiving away from home (ie, the US), another Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade that I can’t watch on TV here in the UK. Three years ago, I missed the tradition so much that I took the family to New York so [...]

Faith is back! I mean Eliza Dushku! I mean Tru! What a surprise. I caught a promo that the new season of Tru Calling begins tonight on Sky One at 9pm. I thought Tru Calling was like Jake 2.0 or Firefly or Space: Above & Beyond, sadly a one season wonder. No, a second season was happily made. Eliza Dushku is great. [...]

I just watched the last episode of season three of The L Word (yes, we’re behind in the UK). To make sure it was indeed the last episode, I went online to find out. I did a search, and Showtime’s site came up first, so I clicked through only to be told:
We at Showtime Online express our apologies; however, [...]

So it’s pretty clear that I love The OC, despite its geography flaws. But c’mon — The OC is simply Melrose Place further south in Southern California. And I loved Melrose Place. I loved it so much that it turned out to be the single most popular thing I [...]

Two letters from Sky this week. The first was to tell me that oops, they’ve failed to bill me and apparently all other Sky HD customers for any Sky services at all for July. Cool, that’s £56 saved Well, Sky’s not that generous. They’ll clawback most of that next month, the [...]
