I haven't subbed to this thread due to the fact that I just don't watch TV comedy, at least not since Phil Hartman died and I stopped watching NewsRadio. However, I do have to add to the lovelovelove of Spaced. I bought the DVDs after I watched the eps on BBCA back in July, and they were so worth the cost. I've already watched the two eps with Tires several times (love the Clubbing ep from Series 1, and his ep in Series 2 introduced Sophie, which is a big plus), and I just adore the friendship between Tim and Mike (they hold hands! How sweet!).
Actually, I think that Mike might be my favorite character, or at least a close second to Daisy. He's such a sweetheart of a guy, naive and yet a believable military hardass, as well. He lets Daisy and Twist dress him up, bakes scones, and then blindfolds Marcia to test her abilty to reassemble a gun. What's not to love?
