I HAVE NOTHING.

Do you have friends? You could maybe borrow a CD player. Of course, if you don't have friends, you might want to get some BEFORE you ask to borrow their stuff.

Wonderfalls got bad reviews, aside from Pamie's recaps? I must have missed them entirely, as my impression was it was better-loved by critics than even Buffy.

Yeah, I think it was a real critical darling for its short existence, and it's still constantly referred to as an example of a great show that didn't get its due.

But making friends is hard work, Kiba. Can't I just steal things?

Polter-Cow i have a cd player i don't use.. you want?

oh. but you ain't my friend...

we really don't make our own good quality tv

I know I'm behind the times, since I depend mainly on BBC America, but I love(d):

• Coupling
• Spooks
• Shameless
• Second Sight
• Wire In The Blood

Those I'd call good, or more than. I also enjoy(ed) Red Cap, Murder In Suburbia, Night Detective, Murphy's Law -- off the top of my head. Obviously it's a hugely filtered list, but if I add up the past three years of US/UK TV, the UK is disproportionately represented in my estimation.

I could be your friend...for a price...of a CD player.

cries in friendless misery

Well that sucks. Learn from your mistakes. Next time, include lots of dancing people. Last week's was really good, and I finally got someone who hates TV to watch it, and he liked it, too. When can you get another show that stays on tv? Soon please, I'm sick of those other horrible shows. I'll never get over Fox getting rid of all of these good shows. Every single time I start to like a show, it goes away. Firefly, Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, Boomtown, Angel, Tru Calling, and now the Inside. I want more good shows, try to make another show with Katie Finneran, please. Heee, wouldn't that be fun if it were that easy?

I'd say there are some good UK dramas produced - things like Cold Feet (which is totally not to everyones taste, but is honest to god really good TV writing, and went on for a good 5 series) of 6 or so episodes a year.

It's worth noting because UK dramas have so low budgets, they take a LOT longer to produce. A season of Cold Feet, for example, was only a few episodes, but took a good 8 months or so writing and months of filming, because you have a small crew and basically no money to do anything (can anybody remember the last UK drama to do anything in the rain - I mean, intentionally in the rain, not just because it's always pissing it down in the UK?).

Cold Feet! I forgot that one. Really liked that too.

Kevin -- what was the reception for Green Wing? I watch it because I have a hella crush on Rhind Tutt, but I FF a lot, because other bits are horribly watch-from-the-hall.
