new tv show, Getting On

Last night I saw my new favourite tv show, called Getting On, starring Laurie Metcalfe. It looks like a real winner for me. The cast is strong, the humour poignant, the premise timely and I felt good about it, the way I do when something difficult is done well. On my server it is on Sunday night on BBC at 8 pm, I think.

I was so glad to see it because most of what Ive seen this season just doesn't do it for me. The only other thing that I can get that's made a real impression is the James Spader showcase, and that's just because it's such a delight to watch Spader work.

Bell wants an extra $10 for the BBCC bundle, now that I have heard this from you I may have to bow down to the system and get myself a present.

Glad to hear your excitement for the show, Angora. I have it taped but haven't watched it Agreed about Spader but I am still enjoying Sleepy Hollow. Ichabod is now suffering an apoplectic rage at how we have destroyed our habitat; his amazement in learning that people have to purchase water to drink was worthy of an Emmy nomination.

I have Sleepy Hollow on dvd, several episodes. I watched it twice and it didn't do anything for me. Maybe I wont get rid of them and will give it another try.

It is pretty far out there, and definitely not for everyone but I find it divisionary from the usual TV fare.

I wasn't crazy about Sleepy Hollow, the movie so I don't think I'd like the TV show.

I can't remember the movie so I am not sure if they compare. Ichabod has been resurrected to the 21st century (memory intact) and is now battling the forces in the book of Revelations to prevent the apocalypse

No, Bitsy I am a real 'out there' fan. Just look at the books I read. I don't know I just found it boring. I'll try again though 'cause I respect your opinion. But, not everything appeals to everyone. Even Helen t and I differ occasionally. ;)
