Loved the opener for Spartacus, I reckon I will enjoy this series. What's this Community you are all raving about? I haven't seen it here in the UK yet, or have I missed something?

Justified is showing on Five USA, or some such, but either way I have recorded the first few episodes and will catch up with it soon. Current best TV for me is Criminal Minds (always brilliant), Modern Family, Lie to Me and Family Guy (of course).
Still sticking with Flash Forward, despite the many, many plot elements and twists that just don't make sense. Too contrived and I feel I will soon abandon it.

Dunno if it's airing in the UK, but it is here so I don't see why it wouldn't be, or at at least not coming soon. It's a show about a bunch of people in a community college, it is beyond hilarious. It has Chevy Chase and Ken Jeong (Asian guy from the Hangover) in it too so you know it's good.

Hey, Australians!

I'm trying to find a show. I think it is an Australian show. I saw a couple of episodes once and really liked it, about a school, and I think a drama teacher in that school. It was pretty funny. It was called something something High. Maybe.

Vague, I know but any suggestions welcomed would like to watch it again. Thanks. :rofl:

Yeah, Summer Heights High. If you like it, the same guy did another show called We Can Be Heroes, which is just as funny. It's a spoof about people up for the running of Australian of the Year (he plays all of them).

There most certainly is. The only person I remember winning it is Cathy Freeman in 2000, though. It's not exactly the Nobel Peace Prize lol.

Watched the first two episodes of Justified, very very cool, will watch this, me thinks.

I find I am not too saddenned by the probable cancellation of Flash Forward as I got tired of being annoyed by contrived plot elements every week that made no sense. Too many "No! That wouldn't happen! He wouldn't do that!" moments...shame, it was a great premise.

I'm pretty sure I read in the last few days Flashforward got canned.

Yeah, I find the special effects in Spartacus get in the way of the story, since they aren't good enough to be cool, and are way overdone. I like the show overall though.

Cheers again SB for another good recommendation, recently started watching Justified. Great show, and I do like Timothy Olyphant. Another show I'm watching now is Party Down. Anyone else into this show? It's pretty damn hilarious. Reminds me a little bit of The Office, too.

It's more like an anti-Entourage than The Office, but some characters (like Rob) remind me of the Office sometimes.

I'm really loving the character of Boyd in this show. Best of a good bunch and the actor plays him really damn well. Only thing that bothers me is that Raylan manages to shoot multiple people every episode (4 or 5 in the finale I think) and yet still gets in no shit for it. I mean, yeah, the State's Attorney's Office is looking into it, but still. Although it is Kentucky I guess...

Aye, Goggins is great. And not long ago he was worried he'd be Shane forever. And if Raylan didn't shoot people, the show would be boring :p

Yeah I know, it's just a minor observation, I don't really care lol.
