What are you watching on TV right now?

Season two is just as good, if not better so be sure to check it out eventually! And yeah, that kind of crude, scatalogical humour can be embarrassing in the wrong hands, but he elevates it to an art form.

Oh, and Ian - Pointless is the only show that makes me regret not having a working TV connection. I love the format and breezy humour of it, but it's one of those "oh good, this is on" shows. Actively choosing to watch it on iPlayer makes me uncomfortably aware of just how much I'm wasting my life.

Pointless

No new episodes, no...probably would have been re-runs of episodes I have on DVD anyway, but still.  

Would have been watching Futurama if Comedy Central hadn't lied about it and put on Chapelle's Show instead...I like Chapelle too, but not in place of Futurama!

Starting Series 2 of the newest Dr. Who series, beginning with the Christmas Invasion episode.

Low ratings, critically panned. Personally, I wouldn't say it was quite up there with The IT Crowd but it's definitely in the same mould and could certainly have grown into something great if the beeb had given it a second series. It's a shame how often these days we don't allow shows find their feet, but ultimately there just isn't as much money in the UK system, which is why we tend to do short 6/7 episode series, and if that series doesn't meet a handful of executives' unrealistic expectations then you can kiss goodbye to series two. I recently found out that a pretty decent adult puppet series on BBC3 called Mongrels was axed after its second series for pretty arbitrary reasons. That was pretty much the only show on BBC3 I watched since The Mighty Boosh, I'm supposedly smack bang in the centre of that channel's target demographic, yet they cancel the one show they're currently producing which I actually liked! It's infuriating.
