Note: Jo is NOT really Barney. She's prettier, loads more competent ...and has all the bullets she needs.
Giles: Helping out with the dishes makes me feel useful. Dawn: Wanna clean out the garage with us
Saturday? You could feel indispensable.
'Dirty Girls'
Boxed Set, Vol. III: "That Can't Be Good..."
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

All is well that ends in pizza.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Oh. Er. Well.
Perzactly. It will probably end up about wacky time-tripping lawyers in Boston.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Daniel has been waxing eloquent on the topic of the Eureka-Mayberry analogy for over a week. Thank heavens he's stopped rapping 60's folk songs, though. That was really painful.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
We the whole thing in half an hour with 2 cameras burning the whole time.
Okay, I am very interested in the idea of setting my tools on fire in order to make deadline. This, to me, is the part that needs remarking on! (Whaddya mean it's slang? Give me my hilarious delusions, please.)
Also, anything with a "monkey beam" in it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Great news about the ratings! I'm afraid I had no chance to see this week's show, but I hope to catch next week's if the schedule coincides with mine.

Loved the Eurekaberry analogy. Funny images for my head.
And "two cameras burning"... I meant rolling but it felt like burning.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Jessica ... you have to be wary. According to someone on the IMDB board, the broadcast version on BBCA is quite heavily edited to allow for commercials. To see the unedited versions you need to subscribe to BBCA Free On Demand.
While David E. Kelley is the wrong choice for making a US version of Life on Mars, I think it goes way beyond whomever is in charge. LoM takes its cue from shows like Target, and The Sweeney, and I don't believe there is a 70's US equivelant to those type of shows. What you'll end up with is a variation on Starsky & Hutch and the feeling will not be the same.
eta: Oh and I just found out the R4 version of the DVDs is released next week, so I'm going to order once I'm sure it has all the extras that the R2 version contains.

fondly remembering the Xena Beowolf/Ring Cycle mashup.
