I'll probably watch at least a few more episodes before I totally write it off.

I'm surprised at how little it seems to be known outside of the UK.

To add to your surprise, I had never heard of it until Engine's post about it. I'll try and check it out though.

So, to kill the boredom I just bought NY Ink. Haha. I love good art but the stories behind them I find just annoying. And the crying, oh god it makes me want to punch the girls in the face. Haha

Give me a no talking, straight forward tattoo tv show where they show the whole tattoo being done.

You ought to see if you can find Nathan Barley.
I love that show.

I really can't get that into Nathan Barley. Only seen the first three though.

Truly is the greatest show to have ever been on TV.

I just plowed through the first 3 seasons in a week. Have to say this have pushed The Sopranos from my #2 TV Series slot. Still not even close to topping Six Feet Under as the all time favorite though.

Just started watching Black Books on the Netflix. Bernard Black is a fantastic character!

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, I honestly don't know what to make of it, the odd combination of slapstick and grind house has me confused.

It's fantastic.

Any show that uses music by Frank Zappa. I'd forgotten how bent it was.
