This is a direct conversion to modern day. It's done very very well though. The stories, places and people are all there, just in modern London.

With the hours I work it's impossible to catch even back to back episodes of anything, much less a whole season. I mostly watch the news.

Ice Road Truckers is the only show I really try to catch every episode of, and I usually watch it on the internet. That show totally fascinates me, I'm just glad it airs in the dead of summer or it probably wouldn't be so much fun to watch.

I enjoy home improvement shows and just about anything on PBS but thats just about it.

Ice road Truckers was pretty cool I thought. Seriously crazy people though.

Right Marie, that last Shatner show was horrible. I saw about 3 minutes of the one with Judge Judy. She told him how her father was kind of mean to her while she was growing up and used to make fun of her acne. Shatner leans in and in the most sappy, pseudo-sympathetic voice goes, "So your father made fun of your pimples." It was like something you'd see on SNL. My sister used to tell me which constellations were forming on my forehead ("Oooooh, there's the Big Dipper!"), and I still lived to tell about it.

That makes me sad, though, Holly. Young people are very sensitive. I'm glad it didn't stay with you. But sisters fight, I know. (Boy, do I know!)

I don't watch much network TV or evening sit-coms, dramas or dram-edies. I became disgusted each year with the new season, selecting things I wanted to watch only to have them cancelled after a few episodes, so I boycotted all shows so I wouldn't have to deal with having my 'story' ripped away from me in mid-tale. Pure frustration.

Now I watch some real/docu-TV.
Deadliest Catch
Ice Road Truckers
Axe Men
Swamp Loggers
Pawn Stars
Little People, Big World ... though it's lost its' appeal this past season.

Husband and I like to catch Dirty Jobs, Cash Cab and a purely *stupid* show called "The Smoking Gun Presents: Worlds Dumbest whatever the episode is highlighting " in addition to interesting shows on the Discovery, Learning, NatGeo, History and Military Channels.
Another show Hubby likes that I sometimes watch with him is the one about 2 men driving around in a van and looking for bargains and antique novelties in people's junky barns and outbuildings. Pickers? American Pickers?

I very rarely try to watch an entire season on tv, but I usually find one show I like. This year I caught up on True Blood, and I've been watching it on tv. Easy because HBO plays the new episode 3 times a week perfect for my schedule.

I also love Criminal Minds and Big Love. I think I'll try to find the Sherlock Holmes show...I love Sherlock Holmes. (I did like the movie, but it wasn't Sherlock Holmes IMO)

[Huge]

Another gem for those with a particular sense of humour.
Mongrels.
Adult multi-species puppet comedy about five urban animals who hang out together in the back yard of an inner city pub. Starring Nelson, a metrosexual fox; Destiny, a pretentious pedigree It-b*tch (dog version of an It-girl) Afghan hound; Marion, a freshly-neutered wannabe tomcat (he keeps them in a pot); Kali, a deeply cynical pigeon; and Vince, the neighbourhood sociopath.

Base, lewd, crude, borderline insensitive. I love it!

Line of the week: Completely unrepeatable on here. Sorry!

Oh believe me, this sister was CRUEL to me, telling me every single day how stupid I was, making fun of me in front of her friends, playing practical jokes on me, telling me again how stupid I was, you name it. It's amazing that we're close as adults.

[Jeanie]

I understand, Holly. I've been through it too.
