Do any of you remember "Freddy's Nightmares"?

I was doing a really good job of forgetting about it until you brought it up. Now I have to destroy some brain cells.

So long as Freddie's Revenge and that god awful Platinum Dunes remake still exist it's not the worst thing to exist that carry's the name, but it's up there.

Terrible, terrible show! I suffered through two episodes: neither had any point to make at all, and the acting was ... well, let's just say they were probably lucky the two short planks who also read for the parts were busy at that time.

Definitely one of the worst shows ever, in the history of television.

I mean that most sincerely.

That was the show that brad pitt debuted his acting on..
it has horrible acting(yet funny)..looks very cheap (thus creating an eerie glare that's very frightening) and i love the stories..it's one of the best spin offs ever made...you probably just seen the wrong episode that's all..

The Inbetweeners

For whatever reason I thought this show was going to be more geared towards the 18-22 age demographic, hence the title, but it's actually more about the final years of school. Regardless it's a pretty hilarious show, made all the better without language restrictions, so a contemporary show can actually feel contemporary, at least in some of the more superficial aspects.

Considering I didn't come-of-age in the U.K. there are just some things I can't relate to, but suburban teenagers being dipshits is pretty universal so there was enough that makes me cringe with uncomfortable familiarity, especially the sex-obssesed kid, who is a spot-on clone of one guy who hung out in my social group in high school, right down to the poncy hairdo.

Basically it's a sharp little comedy that only ran for 18 episodes plus one movie and it's on Instant Netflix so if any of you are fans of British comedy, this one is worth a look.

Fishing With John

Finally on Netflix Instant! This show is a pretty great satire show and it's hosted by none other than saxophonist John Lurie or The Lounge Lizards. It's got a lot of great guests including Tom Waits, Jim Jarmusch, Matt Dillon, and a few others. Sadly, there are only six episodes of cheekiness because the show wasn't approved for another season. Either way, at least we got six.
