I just followed the links through to a Life on Mars video. I found it on YouTube for an easy link: HERE

Looks weak. Very weak. Poor, even. But bloody weak. Do yourselves a favour and beg, steal or borrow the original. You've got a few weeks!

Colm Meany is a great actor, but there is no way he'll have the same bite as Philip Glenister's Gene "Genie": See King of the Jungle and Good Kids

[addicted2dvd]

I just checked Amazon and the UK version of Life on Mars isn't available here. So I will have to see what other means I can find. But I will still check out our version of the series as well.

Monday:
Big Bang Theory
(season 2, sep. 22 - Mon. 8:30 CBS)
Heroes
(season 3, sep. 22 - Mon. 9:00 NBC)
 Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
(season 2, sep. 8 Mon. 9:00 FOX)
My Own Worse Enemy
(oct. 13 - Mon. 10:00 NBC)

Excellent news that BBT is back for a second season 
Great to see that it's not a long wait for next season of Heroes.
T:TSCC back for a second helping is too cool for school
My Own Worst enemy sounds intriguing.

Tuesday:
The Mentalist
(sep. 23 - 9pm CBS)
Fringe
(sep. 9 - 9pm FOX)

The Mentalist sounds like a more serious version of Psych
Heard abit about Fringe a while ago like the sounds of that.

Wednesday:
Knight Rider
(sep. 24 - 8PM NBC)
Do Not Disturb
(sep. 10 - 9:30 FOX)

The pilot of Knight Rider hasn't been shown (legally) over here yet but would like to see it.
DND sounds like an Americanised remake of Hotel Babylon

Thursday:
Supernatural
(season 4, sep. 18 - 9PM CW)
Life on Mars
(oct. 9 - 10PM ABC)

Love Supernatural, one of my fave shows.
Agree with Jon, watch the original, I never bothered when it was first shown, but was addicted whaen I watched the repeats earlier this/late last year.

Friday:
Crusoe
(oct. 17 - 8PM NBC)
Numb3rs
(season 5, oct. 3 - 10PM CBS)

Not too sure about Crusoe - you'll have to let us know what it's like.
Kinda losing my interest in Numb3rs - the

(click to show/hide)

plot thread with Colby was a little too contrived

Sunday:
True Blood
(sep. 7 - HBO)
Dexter
(season 3, sep. 28 - 10PM Showtime)

True Blood sounds good, but I don't fancy it's chances, look what happened to Moonlight and Blood Ties. Buffy & Angel were examples that prove the rule. I hope that this does take off though.
Excellent, a third season of Dexter  enjoying season 2 at the moment.

Hi Guys

Could someone give an unbiased summary of Big Bang Theory, I keep seeing it available but cannot push myself to purchase it, on reading back cover it sounds like a tired idea overdone many times on TV previously, plus I never did like that kid from Roseanne.
Am I way off the mark here and is it worth investing the shillings to purchase series one?

Cheers
Rich

No, I can't give an unbiased view of Big Bang Theory. Sorry.

IMnotsoHO, it is the most consistantly funny US sitcom and one of the funniest sitcoms to be made for a longtime either side of the pond.

Agreed the plot idea is quite a tried and tired idea. But, and here's the thing, the casting and writing is excellent.

I'd say that the closest comparrison to this would be The IT Crowd, which I couldn't get on with.

[lyonsden5]

I'm with the munkey, it's consistently funny and one of the funniest shows around. 

After watching only 2 episodes i was completely hooked.

I watched some bits of that on YouTube, liked it and therefore am THIS close to buy The IT Crowd... So are you saying I should rather get the Big Bang Theory, which apparently gets released in the US tomorrow?

And another TV series I will have to put on my list. I am not sure if I should be grateful that you guys brought me attention to this series, or not

Big Bang Theory all the way

You won't regret it.

[Achim]

Big Bang Theory all the way

Since you're not defending your "home produce" here I'll trust your and the others recommendation and swicth from IT Crowd to Big Bang Theory...

[richierich]

I'm convinced   


First series now ordered 

[Tom]

Since so many of us now have ordered "Bing Bang Theory", how about doing one of those TV series marathons together? Like the ones I started a few months ago (Spaced and Police Squad).

[addicted2dvd]

I went with free shipping... so depending when it gets here I may be in.
