Pulse of the Nation: TV Special
Hot:
- Steven Moffat – knocked out another brilliant episode of Dr Who the other week (blink, the one with the creepy statues) .
- David Rambo – Continuing CSI’s twin trends of a) being brilliant and a bit weird b) the unchecked resurgence of Gil’s hat.
Not:
- Everyone at Prison Break - OK, it ended last week, but did we need to see Bellick naked? No we did not.
- The guys that shuffle the fridge poetry to make 24 plotlines – I’m miles behind on season 6, but it continue to be very, very stupid. When you would rather watch the Powers Boothe/Biscuit scenes than Jack invading Russia (poorly) things have gone wrong.
I stopped 24 at Season 3. After that the adventures of Jack ‘commando Brannigan’ Bower goit really tired. This is the thing with Fox, I like to call it the massive misjudgement complex. I’ve tried to encapute it in code thus:
if (Series.24 = Good-Very Good)
{
do.RUN IT INTO THE GROUND(Series.24);
}
if (Series=.Family_Guy = Very Good)
{
do.CANCEL_AT_PEAK(Series.Family_Guy);
Wait(1year);
do.MAKE_CRAP_TV_MOVIE(Series.Family_Guy);
do.START_IT_AGAIN(Series.Family_Guy);
}
