You're exactly right. Friends got around 20million viewers for each episode and earned over $5 billion in worldwide revenue, being in the top ten most watched shows of the year for the entirity of its run, and still makes a healthy amount in reruns today. Obviously this was also down to writers, producers etc. but you…

"Hi I'm Mike, and I'm a convicted sex offender."

Totally agree, I love the animation style and I'm enjoying the ongoing arc of the two characters vying for leadership of the group, I'm hoping that the decisions you make will have a cumulative effect, leading to the last chapter being vastly different depending on what you've chosen throughout the previous chapters.

In answer to your question, as a British tv nerd I can confirm that Breaking Bad is indeed held in high regard here. However, in a role reversal of the scenario in the US I can't say that it got much coverage among British tv critics (that I saw) but it is probably the most watched US show among people I know. It…

You mention meeting Hugh's replacement next week. Does this mean you won't be spending a week on In The Loop.

Yeah I have the same issue, I assume everyone does. Unfortunately, due to lowish readership of Pulling reviews, I doubt the problem will be fixed, but I expect it will be fine for the next review.

Unfortunately no. I was planning to, but I remembered that becasue I have Virgin Media, I don't have sky atlantic. Apparantly it is being shown on sky1 later in the week so I will probably watch it then.

I remember reading somewhere that they had to redo that line more than any other they had done before, due to Elizabeth Taylor making it sound too sexual.

I can see your point about the similarities, but would say that whereas Girls has grown into a decent drama-comedy, with the drama elements working better for me than the sitcom aspects, Pulling works as an all out sitcom already and the characters seem well-drawn enough that I would be happy to spend the rest of the…
