It's true: this version of Being Human doesn't get the comedy. Timing is difficult.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

To be fair, the pilot of The Middleman felt off to me. It took a few episodes for the actors to get used to Javi's style of dialog and get their timing down, but once they did, it was hilarious.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Same for me, Scola.

I just watched last night's Chuck, and I LOVED it. I too adored Morgan and Casey helping with the proposal, and I was so sure it was going to happen on the balcony at the end there, but of course not. It took them two and a half seasons to get together, I'm sure it'll take a full other one for this proposal to happen.
Preview for next week also looks amazing. Of course, I'll be living on a ship by then, and so I have no idea how I'm going to watch it, but I'll make it happen.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I just watch the SyFy Being Human. It wasn't horrible. It did lack the charm of the BBC version.
I don't remember the sister being locked in with the werewolf in the original. Am I forgetting that?
