Walking Dead didn't do much for me, but I'm picky.

Why are there no good shows on network tv anymore? It's like whenever they decide that they need a hit, instead of taking a chance on a good idea they just make another reality tv show or CSI rip off. The only good shows are on cable now.

I feel like the whole premium channels thing like HBO, Showtime and such really changed TV. They can get away with pretty much anything they want and can touch on some intense topics. These networks really give the producers of the show creative control, rather than letting the network's needs and ratings get involved too much.

Also, I've noticed that most of the big shows these days are focused on a character or group of character that engages in either illegal activities or general bad behavior. For example, Dexter, Weeds, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, and Mad Men all focus on characters that sell drugs, kill, gamble, or cheat yet are much more complex and we feel for them. If you ask me, I think it's a really good time for TV.

Yes I am a Van Damme fanboy but I have always got the impression that he is a flawed character having battled various addictions in his life and being diagnosed with bipolar.

He could come across as a total douche in this series (I hate reality T.V on the whole but had to watch this) but instead he seems a very genuine guy with many personal issues who is not afraid to admit to them.

He also owns a dog sanctuary in his homeland which wasn't forced down your throat as a mere publicity stunt.

Mrs Brown's Boys.

This Irish comedy has been running a while in it's native country and has recently made it's way over here and it's a decent giggle.

A man dressed as a matriarchal grandmother who constantly swears and spews classic one liners is a winner in my book. All shot on a live stage it also has a subversive edge too. Sounds crap? Well watch this:

watched another episode of Fort Boyard and M/s Hand definitely is very ithcy today - one of the contestants had pretty perky nipples poking out of her top

I'm in LOVE with this show. Like Skins with superpowers!

Or...not. Still, love it. Although, two episodes in and all I've wanted to do is to give Simon a hug.

I started watching Drop Dead Diva but stopped because I've decided it's rubbish. Total American bullshit.

Pretty much my opinion about every single show on television these days.

It's true though. I can't wait for Friday at 10pm as Come Fly With Me is on which is a show made by the guys that did Little Britain. I SO can't wait.

Little Britain is funny as hell. I've watched a few videos on youtube. It's very well made.
