Lucky Louie was terrible, but Louie... some of those episodes are mini-masterpieces.

Just watched the first episode of the series Lilyhammer, been waiting months for this to finally be shown on British television:
Series in which mafioso boss Frank Tagliano is relocated to Norway in an FBI witness protection programme.

What did you think of it? Due to timing clashes I haven't got it down to record until tomorrow night.

So far it's not as funny as I thought it was going to be, so that's the only disappointing thing for me. Apart from that and once it left America, I enjoyed it and look forwards to see how they go a whole two series with it.

I've had two TV obsessions for the last week, both on DVD. Season 1 of Game of Thrones and season 3 of Community.

Any of you nerds going to watch Downton Abbey tonight? It always makes me feel rugged and manly when I watch it.
Nope, haven't seen one episode of Downton Abbey.
Watched the last auditions of The X-Factor tonight, this has probably been the most boring series of auditions in the entire history of the series...

I find it so depressing that X-Factor's still on. The worse thing is, even when it ends, you know they're just going to ask him for something else.

^ It might end with next years series, 2013 is when the X-Factor contract ends with Cowell/ITV(something like this) and some think the series next year will be the last if the ratings don't pick up a lot.
This year there was too much footage of seeing contestants talking to each other, sob stories and so on, this stuff is really boring, I don't care about their history or what their opinions are, I just want to see them audition and then the final 10 or whatever we get some back story.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Second episode of The Bletchley Circle - enjoying it so far and look forwards to the last episode this week. A wonderful cast especially the four women the series concentrates on.

I heartily recommend the last two programmes mentioned. I'm really looking forward to the last part of The Bletchley Circle. It's an ITV drama and I'm disappointed there's only three episodes. I don't think that's ever happened before.

^ I'm sure I heard somewhere that if it does well then a longer series will be made, sure I heard that, hope I'm right.

This year I shall be watching ... Strictly Come Dancing. There, I've said it.
The reason - Johnny Ball.
For those of us of a certain age, he was the best thing on kids' telly and taught me more about maths-y, science-y stuff than my entire primary school education.
Johnny Ball = Hero
Now, if they get Brian 'don't misspell my surname' Cant, Derek Griffiths, Big Alan from Grange Hill and someone in a Knightmare helmet I'll become a regular viewer.

I'm also trying Strictly this year. X Factor has gotten to the point where I just have it on mute this year.
