Thank you all for your help in deciding my winter-DVD-box-set-marathon viewing list. For I, like Craig, can't be arsed (and simply am too disorganised) to even bother trying to watch network tv same bat time same bat channel each week.
Merci beaucoup

Tricia Helfer is the one true Goddess in our house
But Craig, you've said that before about Helen Mirren. You're mot two-timing, are you?

Dang, Reaper isnt being renewed for next season, according to Popcandy. Oh well. ..
But I can't look at Ray Wise without seeing Leland Palmer. I still pop on the first season of Twin Peaks occasionally, and wonder how the hell David Lynch and Mark Frost got away with it, and the prequel movie Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is seriously under-rated.

OK, I'm a bad Cylon. Colonial polytheism all the way. :) Seriously, BSG better get some serious Emmy-love on its way out the door because (IMNSHO) the only reason a remarkable ensemble cast hasn't gotten more award recognition is good old fashioned genre snobbery.
I didn't view it as homophobic at all, just a very funny piss-take.
And Sarah and Jimmy aren't exactly brilliant role models for the heterosexist patriarchal Reich. :)

So, um, Torchwood? Whatever happened to the first series, which IIRC TVNZ snapped up to stop Prime from getting it, but it hasn't surfaced :-(
Also, anyone got any goss on when we'll be getting the Kylie Minogue Dr Who Xmas special here?
Yes, yes, I am stuck in the techno-ghetto of lacking a computer that can download anything big enough to be interesting.

Am I the only person who is quite happy to give heavily 'serialised' shows like The Wire a pass on network TV and wait for the DVDs? One reason I checked out of Lost was because I'd be utterly... well, lost if I missed a couple of episodes.
I struggle between that, and "dammit, I need to know what's happening" with Lost. Which they never properly answer anyway, but I still feel it.
For other shows which people say are 'really good' but which I never got into in the first season (BSG, Wire etc), I just ignore it on TV and think "I'll rent the DVD season 1 some time and see if I want to buy them all".

But I guess 'bionic core stabilizing muscles' wouldn't sell.
lol
I tried with Bionic Woman - for a couple of episodes anyway... I couldn't get into it.
You know those action series that start off great and then run out of storyline (Stargate would be the shining example - why did it keen going - maybe also Charmed)? When they don't have exciting things to do they start devoting whole episodes to pretenting they're a drama and talking about how each person FEELS and about RELATIONSHIPS. Key plot idea: hero gets locked in room at the start of the episode and spends the next 45 mins analysing their relationships with people.
Bionic Woman felt like it was already doing that. They looked like they would drip-feed minimal amounts of action - but the main focus would be the scientist's relationship with the evil woman, the hero's difficulties with trying to be mom to her sis, etc, etc.
To be blunt SNORE.
But perhaps I'm not the target audience.

I'm not a Dr. Who fan, but having seen how brilliant the guy from Torchwood was in season 19 of Nevermind the Buzzcocks (on divx from a bit-torrenting friend, in keeping with the current topic), I'd be keen to see it!

The Wire ... season 2 is on my list, the first series was utter genius. I've been watching Jeeves and Wooster. Apparently lots of "House" watchers are getting into the Laurie back catalogue, what'll they make of Bertie?
Battlestar is essential viewing too. The wonderful thing about it is that non scifi lovers can buy into it in a way few scifi shows have managed. It's that good.
Not feeling the new shows. Bionic woman was instant crap as mentioned by others.
O God I have been watching "Rock of Love" ... feel my shame. But what a cast. Most of the more "whore-endous" characters are gone but there is still Lacey, who is clearly possessed and whose eyes wander around madly like Marty Feldman's.
followed by South Park. The Imagination Land episodes are Trey and Matt at their best. Was very excited to spot Mordred ("Excalibur") in his sexy gold armour in the collection of bad guys.

Barrowman's less camp when in character. I heart Torchwood big, but I wouldn't be surprised if TVNZ simply never plays it.
However. It now plays on the BBC with a bright Barbie pink BBC symbol in the corner. Which is still hugely less irritating than the in-program ads for other programs that cover the bottom third of the screen in Stargate Atlantis.

You mean the Amstell-Barrowman gay-off? Genius:

Yep! Robyn got me hooked on Buzzcocks by sending me season 21 because she knew that I have a Vince Noir/Noel Fielding fetish from The Mighty Boosh (also OMG *SPOILER ALERT* season three MAN PASH!!!!) and now I just can't get enough. It makes me guffaw in delight, and it also makes me giggle in glee at how much it makes my flatmates guffaw in delight too. It almost makes me want to start bittorrenting myself. But my laptop just would not be able to handle that.

Torchwood is great! Series 2 started with a bang - Captain Jack discovers his arch nemesis, Captain John (played by James Marsters of the 'Buffy' universe) has come to town. They have an awesome fight in a bar, culminating with a great big man pash.
It's a silly, over-the-top series, but that's why I like it. And this season sees the return of Martha Jones from Doctor Who. (Wait, has she actually made an appearance on NZ TV yet? It's hard to keep up...)

SPIKE MAN PASH! OMG!

SPIKE MAN PASH! OMG!
You know how some black people have taken back the N-Word and I (and others) are all about the cunt? It's like the writers of TV shows are trying to steal back their characters from slash-writers by producing the slash themselves!
-
The pash! (which actually comes before the fight):
Potentially NSFW.

I thought you were all about the Buffy?

Sue,
I am however sad
that your absence missed coverage of the greatest makeover show EVER
'tim gunn's guide to style'ok veronica webb needs some fashion help, but time is just so lovely, and feels as if he's failed if a makeover = tears.
love the tim gunn

Yes, and it looks like the new zeason of who is going to go off. Though the retro big bad this series have to be the most God-awful silly looking creatures in the Who-niverse. (though geek points that the chap under all the latex is Christopher Ryan. Yes, Mike from The Young Ones.)

The Wire Season 3 now winging its way to me from distant lands - woot!

I emailed my slash-ficcing good friend with a 'HA, WTF are you going to do NOW?' as soon as saw that. Well, as soon as I'd watched it the third time.

PPS: I must have missed something somewhere, but where have John Campbell's ties gone?
How would you know? You watch Shortland Street every night.

Welcome back, Fiona, welcome back. Can I just ask when we are getting the next season of ANTM? And some Project Runway? I do hate having to stay away from the websites just because we're a couple of seasons behind on both those shows. And is anyone else finding the new season of Men In Trees just a little, I don't know, discombobulating? Storylines are getting a little thin, IMHO.
