TV Shows

I absolutely adore House MD. It's hilariously funny, brilliantly acted, and intelligent. If you haven't seen it, go down to your local DVD store and borrow the first season. Alternatively, you could download it. I'm in the midst of the third season right now, and am very impatiently waiting for my computer to stop being so slow.

Other TV shows that are worth watching include:
  • Firefly, and its accompanying movie Serenity. Cowboys in outer space, funny, again brilliantly acted, and fascinating story lines, mainly about totalitarian governments, and the small guy beating them at their own game.
  • Red Dwarf. A British comedy set in space. Original character include Dave Lister, the last (barely) human alive; Rimmer, a hologram who used to be Lister's roommate, and they hate each other; Cat, an evolved cat; and Holly, a senile computer. Other characters appear (most notably Kryten and Kristine Kochansky) in later seasons.
  • Black Books. Another British comedy. Bernard runs a book shop. He hates people in general. Manny is his assistant, and Fran runs the shop next door.
That should keep everyone busy for now!
