Cheers Vic Mackey, I'll buy the first series of The Shield and give it a watch.

Generation Kill is good. Short, but well worth watching if you like David Simon's approach to TV drama.

Indeed! Go-go's problem was that despite fantastic energy the songs really did all sound the same

So far this week I've watched 20 minutes of Jamie Oliver in America last night - and thats it, in total.

Some weeks I watch nothing at all.

I was gutted when I finished season 5 of The Wire, even though it is probably the weakest of the seasons. It does wrap everything up magnificently though.

Season 2 is my favourite. Try 'Homicide' the book by Simon. It's the fore-runner to The Wire.

How Not To Live Your Life. That's a funneh proggy.

Of the American stuff I used to watch House, got 3 seasons on doovde, but then kinda just went off it like I did chocolate. I watched quite abit of Kyle Xy aswell, until I found out what he was and stuff, then I binned that. But the key one I watch religiously is Entourage. Because it's f-cking beeeeeeeeauty!

Funny I've heard a few people say 2 was their favourite and yet, as mentioned somewhere above, it's my least favourite - probably says more about the consistency than anything else!

I'm definitely going to give the book a go.

rlThis is well worth a readrl for any Wire fans that have missed it

Charlie Brooker describes it as the best show since the invention of Radio and then sums it up perfectlyHow good is it? Put it this way
