I did it!

Oh, I made a pun!

A quick search  shows that a depressingly large number of people didn't realise that was a gag…

Well, this is as good a reason as any to start watching this show.
It is always a little strange watching shows about the American High School Experience - it's so different to going to an English village State School, and yet through media saturation I grew up with so many depictions of US High School that in a weird…

Anything they recorded in the '70s + End of The Century.

Parades End was pretty good, but it was technically an HBO co-production so it may not count entirely. Other than that I think you're right that having to play for a broad audience is damaging to the quality of the shows. That's an issue that I gather terrestrial TV in the US has as well though.

Drama-wise, Utopia and Broadchurch this year we both very good, but then again they we actually on Channel 4 and ITV respectively. Both of those were heavily serialized with an intriguing plot and unique aesthetic. (It should be mentioned, though as well, that the BBC's serialized 'whodunnit' that aired at the same…

Apparently Mr. Diesel himself.

Are we sure he's not advocating the culling of Pitbull the entertainer? Because that'd be more understandable…

Alison was robbed!

It was more the fact he was in a room with a bunch of suburbanites and a preacher - he was trying to get them off-guard/freak them out.

He was a pretty fun side-character in A Town Called Eureka as well.

BBFC used to have the so-called 'Mull of Kintyre rule' where you can't show a cock that stands up (i.e. is more erect) more than that land-mass does from Scotland.

If we're going the 'inept wizard' route, perhaps Rincewind would be a better example.

That was brilliant - probably the most realistic sibling relationships I've seen on tele for a while.

Definitely looked like it - maybe she's Vincent D'onofrio
